Fight+ was a combat sports channel founded by David McConachie and Steffen Tangstad.

Fight+ showed movies, documentaries, classic and exclusive matches, training and educational programming and news. The plan was for Fight+ to become available all over Europe as fast as possible.

Fight+ closed down on December 11, 2006 according to CanalDigital website.[1] According to the same website the channel is closing because there hasn't been enough interest from customers of CanalDigital, and they've also had problems finding new investors.

Gary Barfoot and McConachie co-produces "KOTV" which stands for Knockout Television. The magazine format shows features clips from old fights and current interviews and news. Distributed by Granada Television, the show is seen in over 75 countries including most of Europe and significant portions of Asa and Africa. Among the video contributors is journalist Peter Palmiere who covers the west coast for KOTV and is the host of "Boxing Inside with Peter Palmiere" which is one of boxing's longest running weekly show. "Boxing Inside" airs on SPTV Channell 33 in San Pedro, California and has never missed an airing since it's debut on January 7, 1999.
