Why you should watch live boxing at the pub  

The Rovers Tye is the place to be when live boxing is on the cards. We pull out all of the stops to ensure you’ve got the best view, a fresh drink and plenty of food to fuel your celebrations (and commiserations). If you couldn't nab tickets and you’re not up to paying for pay-per-view, we’ve got you covered with a lineup you can count on while you watch the best boxing fixtures TV has to offer.  

Oh, and even when there's no fight on screen, we'll keep you up to date with all the latest boxing news through our Sky Sports News channels. 

 

Knockout food for those big fights 

Whether you fancy a big, juicy burger or the nerves have got you in the mood for picky bits, our menu is full of food for every feeling. Grab a few small plates for the table, tuck into crispy fish & chips or even get involved with a hearty pie. We’ve got them all and more, and we think no matter what you choose, everything is on the cards when it comes to live boxing.  

 

Hard-hitting drinks at a great Greene King sports pub 

Well, we wouldn’t be a great pub showing boxing without a bar like ours! From your favourite ice-cold pints, freshly poured by our fantastic bar team, to super shots to celebrate a knockout win, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to drinks at ours.   

Fancy a glass of wine? We’ve got a range of white, red and sparkling to sip on. Cocktails more your thing? Take a look at our cocktail menu and we’ll mix up something special. Driving tonight? Our range of non-alcoholic drinks will tick all your boxes. Who said no and low was half the fun? Certainly not us!  

A ringside atmosphere for every punch 

When tickets to Wembley Stadium are just a step out of reach, and Saudi pay-per-view is a little too steep, we’ve got you sorted. The Rovers Tye is always full of fellow boxing buffs, so you can watch along surrounded by like-minded people. Whether you’re in different corners or supporting the same fighter, the atmosphere is always electric with plenty of fun in store!   

Oh, and there’s no view quite like ours. With Sky Sports, TNT Sports and pay-per-view events on our screens, we always get the best close-ups, the best commentary in Colchester and all the replays to see every punch, jab and block from as many angles as humanly possible. Forget sitting in the back rows, your front-row seat is right here at the Rovers Tye and it’s waiting, just for you.
