This morning we're pleased to officially announce Amir Khan Boxer's homecoming to Sheffield will be broadcast on the Channel of Champions, BoxNation, as he takes on former IBF Lightweight champion Julio Diaz.

"George Groves to feature on undercard!

Saturday night will also see the return of George Groves to B0xNation screens! He fights Syrian born Baker Barakat in an 8 round contest, which, assuming he wins could be the springboard to challenge the winner of Abraham vs Stieglitz later in the year. Barakat won't make it easy for Groves, however - his 54 fight experience (37-13-4) will mean he'll be used to a number of different styles and fighters. Tune in early to catch the Hammersmith star try and make it 18 wins out of 18."

Be warned, he fights just after 5.30pm!

Whilst the fight isn't great, attracting Khan to the channel is a massive plus. I never thought Khan and Warren would ever work together again!

Missed last nights show. Hope they can get the Rios fight on Saturday. An official deal with Top Rank would be amazing. Deals with golden Boy, Top Rank, Sauerland and Warren would mean guaranteed boxing on the channel every Saturday.

Frank Warren confirmed today that Boxnation HD to launch in 5 months time. I'm guessing September as that's when the boxing season returns after its summer break.

4 mins 50 seconds

Later in the interview, at about 27 mins, Warren finally links Boxnation to BT!
