This move is set to enhance the league’s broadcast quality significantly, bringing a wealth of experience and respect that Bernstein has garnered over his distinguished career in boxing commentary.
Al Bernstein, who has been a prominent voice in boxing for over four decades, made his debut back in 1980 with the ESPN Top Rank Boxing Series.

His energetic and insightful commentary has made boxing more accessible to fans worldwide.
In 2003, Bernstein transitioned to Showtime, where he became an integral part of “Showtime Championship Boxing” and “ShoBox: The New Generation.” His role there lasted over two decades until the network concluded its boxing programming in 2024. Even after this conclusion, Bernstein has remained active, contributing to boxing coverage on DAZN and hosting his own talk show focusing on the sport.
Excitement surrounds Bernstein’s involvement with TBL, which he shared in a statement: “For the first three seasons, I have enjoyed watching the TBL Team Boxing League and now I'm excited to join its broadcast team. This unique concept has helped create new boxing fans while providing plenty of excitement for existing followers. The team-based format and one-round fighting intervals have created significant drama and compelling storylines.” He couldn’t hide his enthusiasm for the upcoming season four, expressing his anticipation to chronicle the growth and action of TBL.
