Jim Ross Makes Deal To Call Boxing On CBS Sports Network

Last night, Jim Ross dropped a little bit of news on Twitter:

The best guest we’ve seen so far is that he’ll be the latest voice on the roster of Premier Boxing Champions, the promotion that you’ve seen blanketing seemingly every television network with boxing cards in the last year or so. Previously, Ross called a Golden Boy Promotions card on Fox Sports 1 as a one-off as well as the Battlegrounds MMA tournament in Oklahoma, which aired on pay-per-view and saw him flanked by Chael Sonnen. He had expressed interest in doing more work in non-simulated combat sports, and clearly that’s panning out.

It’s been a busy couple months when it comes to Ross making new deals, since, as we’ve previously reported, he’s also the new voice of New Japan Pro Wrestling on AXS TV and the spokesman for the FITE TV internet streaming platform. He also serves as an advisor to FITE. He’s clearly picking up a lot of stream with his outside ventures, so it will be interesting to keep an eye on if he’s got more to reveal in the coming months. In addition to his combat sports assignments, Ross has also done radio play by play for the Atlanta Falcons, and he was later a part of the XFL broadcasting team, so he certainly has non-wrestling qualifications.
