Last week Eddie Hearn tweeted that SKY would be showing live action this Saturday. The EPG shows Live International Boxing from 3am on SKY Sports. Chad Dawson Vs. Adonis Stevenson is for the WBC Light Heavyweight title. Tony Bellew is set to fight the winner of this bout.
Last week SKY was due to show Bute Vs. Pascal as part of the Froch Vs. Kessler PPV. The fight was cancelled after Bute hurt his hand in training. Both Bute Vs. Pascal and Dawson Vs. Stevenson are being promoted by GYM Promotions in Canada. Apparently SKY re-negotiated their deal so instead of picking up Bute Vs. Pascal when it does go ahead, they are showing Dawson Vs. Stevenson instead.
Nothing official yet from SKY however it should be confirmed this Thursday on Ringside.

Alas the only drink l consume is alcohol used in cooking l am afraid as medication and booze don't mix.

And if you've not had enough, BBC 2 are showing the European Amateur Boxing Championships from 4pm on sunday afternoon. Some of our lads are already in the medals before this weekends finals. Leeds light-flyweight Jack Bateson, London super-heavyweight Joe Joyce and Welsh flyweight Andrew Selby all won on Wednesday to advance to the semi-finals and a guaranteed bronze medal. Olympic silver medallist John Joe Nevin and Jason Quigley also guaranteed medals for Ireland.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
SKY have picked up Gennedy Golovkin Vs. Matthew Macklin on the 29th June. I'm expecting an announcement soon from Boxnation regarding Bernard Hopkins Vs. Karo Murat on the 13th July. The show is being jointly promoted by Goldenboy and Sauerland which makes this show as good as confirmed.
August is usually a notoriously quiet month for boxing in Britian as boxing takes an unofficial 6 week break from end of July to mid September. Not to fear however as there is a few cards out there for us fans:
16th August - Andrzej Fonfara Vs. Gabriel Campillo (ESPN / BT Sports)
17th August - Danny Geale Vs. Darren Barker (SKY Sports)
24th August - Jurgen Braehmer Vs. TBA & Arthur Abraham Vs. TBA (Unconfirmed Boxnation)

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?
Probably will not bother with the German bill on Boxnation; they tend to have massive gaps between the bouts. The Channel 5 bill looks to be a good one - I could be wrong but I believe this is the last fight contracted to them?

It could explain why Haye Vs. Fury is suddenly being mentioned. Channel 5 and Primetime are owned by media mogul Richard Desmond. It was suggested should Fury step up to face a Klitschko the fight would be PPV on Primetime rather than free to air on Channel 5. If the Channel 5 deal is over, it opens the door for Haye Vs. Fury to take place on SKY Box Office.
If Mick Hennessy after tonight is without a UK TV deal once more, maybe SKY will offer him the carrot of some live dates on SKY Sports over the next 12 to 24 months if Haye Vs. Fury happens.

I must admit I'm not exactly buzzing about that line-up. James DeGale European champion 6 fights ago but gave up the title to pursue the WBC silver route to world honors. DeGale should be facing better opponents than 38 year old Bozic. DeGale needs to stop this guy tonight, and do it in convincing fashion as his last couple of Channel 5 outing have been stinkers.
Boxrec have Hughie Fury listed against this guy:

The last 2 people to stop this guy is our very own Matt Skelton and Richie Towers, both on British soil. I have a feeling this one could be over quickly
