BoxNation
(Sky Ch. 437/Virgin Ch. 546) kicks off its second season with a
sensational line-up featuring the best domestic and international action
all live and exclusive on the Undisputed Home of TV Boxing.

 
To the end of October, the action-packed schedule sees a staggering 12 world title fights – which is unrivaled on any other TV channel – with even more fights to be added.

  • It starts tonight (Saturday 25th August) LIVE from the O2 World Arena in Berlin for the highly anticipated showdown between WBO World Super-Middleweight Champion Robert Stieglitz and challenger Arthur Abraham. 
    It’s make or break for Abraham, the heavy handed former IBF World
    Middleweight Champion, who’s had a succession of tough fights since
    stepping up a weight division and is making a second world title attempt
    at 168lbs.  He faces a tough test against the classy Russian born
    Stieglitz who’s made seven successful defences of the title so far.  The
    fight has extra significance with British and Commonwealth Champion
    George Groves looking to get in with the winner.
  • The following week (Saturday 1st September) it’s back to Germany LIVE
    from the Koenig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen for a huge unification
    showdown in the middleweight division with long-time WBA World Champion Felix Sturm putting his crown on the line against tough Australian Daniel Geale who holds the IBF World title.
  • Queensberry Promotions’ exciting series BoxAcademy returns for a new season on Friday 7th September LIVE from the home of London boxing the York Hall, Bethnal Green, with Tony Conquest and Ian Tims challenging for the Vacant WBO International Cruiserweight Championship, also featuring star prospects Joe Selkirk, Joey Taylor and Tom Baker.
  • The next night (Saturday 8th September) it’s LIVE
    from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for a potentially
    explosive face-off between IBF World Welterweight Champion Randall Bailey and former WBC/IBF World Champion Devon Alexander. 
    With 16 years in the sport, Bailey still has the KO punch.  In his last
    fight he scored a sensational one-punch knockout of Mike Jones to win
    the title, but in his way is a man used to facing and beating
    big-punchers.  Alexander mastered heavy-handed Argentinians Marcos
    Maidana and Lucas Matthysse and is now gunning to become a
    two-weight champion.  Matthysse also features as chief-support on the
    card and takes on the former Commonwealth champion Ajose Olusegun with the WBC Interim Light-Welterweight championship on the line.
  • Exciting talent Billy Joe Saunders kicks off a triple-header weekend.  The Commonwealth Middleweight Champion returns to action on Friday 14th September LIVE at the York Hall in a battle of the unbeaten punchers when he tackles dangerous Australian challenger Jarrod Fletcher.  Also on the card is the hot super-middleweight prospect Frank Buglioni plus some of Britain’s brightest talents.
  • The following night (Saturday 15th September) it’s a LIVE double-header from two continents starting at the Stechert Arena in Bayern, Germany, with Yoan Pablo Hernandez’s IBF World Cruiserweight title against Troy Ross. 
    Big-hitting Hernandez scored two memorable wins over Steve Cunningham –
    a controversial technical decision followed by a tough points win, both
    seen on BoxNation – and dropping him in both fights.  Ross won the US
    reality TV hit series The Contender in 2009 and will give Hernandez a
    tough test.
  • Then it’s LIVE
    to the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, for a fistic Mexican Independence Day
    holiday weekend for a massive show.  One of world boxing’s hottest young
    stars Saul Alvarez takes on Josesitio Lopez in a
    potential thriller.  At only 21, Mexican ace Alvarez is unbeaten in 41
    fights with 29 going early and has excited fans with his all-action,
    hard-hitting, performances.  He faces a stern test against Lopez who
    scored a huge upset when he smashed Victor Ortiz in June to make his
    name on the world stage.  Also on the card, dynamite-punching Mexican
    hero Jhonny Gonzalez, one-time ruler of the bantamweight
    division, defends his WBC World Featherweight Championship against
    another iron-fisted warrior in Daniel Ponce De Leon.  Between
    them they have an incredible 106 fights with 80 big knockouts.  A
    further world title fight sees IBF World Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz defend his title against Erik Morel and Maidana on the world title comeback trail.  It’s going to be an explosive night.
  • The Auld rivalry reignites on Saturday 22nd September at Glasgow’s SECC between WBO World Lightweight Champion Ricky Burns and Kevin Mitchell in a gigantic Battle of Britain LIVE. Scottish
    star Burns, a two-time and two-weight world champion, meets English
    rival Mitchell in one of the most highly anticipated fights in recent
    years.
    All-action
    Burns has been involved in thrillers against Roman Martinez and Michael
    Katsidis, but Mitchell will be his biggest challenge yet.  The tough
    heavy-handed Londoner has been gunning for a fight with Burns for the
    last few years and he’s looking to pull off a major upset in the
    champion’s home city.  The undercard also features Celtic
    Super-Featherweight Champion John Simpson plus former two-time WBO World Featherweight Champion Scott Harrison.
  • The heavyweights are back in action on BoxNation.  WBA World Heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin and former WBC World Champion Hasim Rahman collide at the Sporthalle in Hamburg LIVE on Saturday 29th September. 
    Russian star Povetkin is aiming for a showdown with the all-conquering
    Klitschko brothers and a dominant showing against Rahman will line him
    up for one of them.
  • Next up is BoxNation’s newest British star.  The hammer-fisted unbeaten heavyweight talent David Price puts his British and Commonwealth titles on the line against Audley Harrision LIVE from the Liverpool Echo Arena on Saturday 13th October. 
    It’s also a battle of the Olympians with Price winning Bronze in
    Beijing and Harrison claiming Gold in Sydney.  Liverpool giant Price has
    stopped 11 out of 13 early with his last last seven fights all ending
    by knockout, but Harrison is making a final stand in his career and is
    looking to upset the young star.  A quality packed card features a
    further three British title fights in a big night of action.
  • The man who destroyed Amir Khan is coming to BoxNation.  Danny Garcia
    took Khan’s WBC/WBA Super World Light-Welterweight titles with a
    devastating performance last month and now defends the titles against
    Mexican legend Erik Morales LIVE from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday 20th October.  A further world title on the card sees new WBA World Welterweight Champion Paul Malignaggi
    – who BoxNation viewers’ saw cause an unbelievable upset when he
    stopped Vyacheslav Senchenko in nine rounds to take his world title in
    the Ukrainian’s backyard in May – makes the first title defence against
    hard-hitting Pablo Cesar Cano.
  • The action switches LIVE the following week to the CSKA Stadium in Moscow, Russia, on Saturday 27th October where hero Denis Lebedev takes on Guillermo Jones
    for his WBA World Cruiserweight title.  Jones has won his last two
    title defences by KO, but equally iron-fisted Russian challenger Lebedev
    will have something to say about it in this potential thriller.

A date will shortly be announced for one of Britain’s most exciting fighter’s Nathan Cleverly who returns to his home city of Cardiff in October to defend his WBO World Light-Heavyweight title.
