The Fight Network (formerly The Wrestling Channel, TWC and TWC Fight!) was a free-to-air digital satellite television sports channel in the United Kingdom and Ireland, devoted to airing programming related to boxing, mixed martial arts, pro-wrestling and other combat sports. Launched on 15 March 2004, it was the first international channel from the Canadian-based The Fight Network. The UK & Ireland variant evolved from TWC Fight! (originally The Wrestling Channel) after they acquired the channel.

The channel, in 2007, when using TWC Fight! branding, also used to show wrestling shoot interviews. Jim Cornette, Raven and Vince Russo were some of the shoot interviews shown.

The Fight Network ceased transmission on 1 December 2008 at 00:00UTC. They were removed from Sky Digital's EPG at 06:00UTC on 1 December. The former frequency of this channel on Eurobird, 11.260Ghz (Vertical, Symbol Rate 27.5 megabaud, FEC 2/3) currently carries a standard colour bar test pattern.
