Starts with regular programme ‘Scoreboard’ with Murray Deaker. The main focus is the upcoming fight, the Heavyweight Championship of the World (boxing), plus coverage of other sport. Note during the lead up to the fight Murray Deaker explains several times that Andrew Saville will provide ringside comment at the end of each round, whilst Billy Graham will provide commentary from watching TV commentary in Radio Sport studio in Auckland. Radio Sport did not have rights to broadcast commentary of the fight so to the disdain of Billy Graham, Andrew Saville called the whole fight. Intermittent commercials throughout programme.
