Also announced today, SHOWTIME and Premier Boxing Champions will present the rematch between WBC Light Heavyweight Champion אדוניס סטיבנסון ו אנדז'יי Fonfara ב יום שבת, יוני 3. This bout is an encore of a 2014 action-packed fight in which Stevenson edged Fonfara to defend his 175-pound crown.
The SHOWTIME boxing lineup also includes two significant welterweight bouts with world title implications: ברטו אחר לעומת. שון פורטר (אפריל 22) ו קאל ברוק לעומת. ארול ספנס Jr. (מאי 27). Both events are presented in association with Premier Boxing Champions. The אפריל 22 Berto vs. Porter event will feature an anticipated 154-pound world title fight between Jermell Charlo ו צ'ארלס Hatley as well asworld champion אמנדה סראנו attempting to become the first woman—and first fighter of Puerto Rican decent—to win a world title in five different weight classes.
ב יום שבת, מאי 20, SHOWTIME will present a unique twin-bill of world championship fights. ראשון, boxing’s hottest young star, newly minted world champion Gervonta דייוויס, will make his first world title defense against ליאם וולש מלונדון. מאוחר יותר באותו הערב, featherweight world champion גארי ראסל ג'וניור. ואלוף עולם לשעבר אנדרה Dirrell will be featured in separate bouts. Start times for both live telecasts are to be determined.
בכל, SHOWTIME Sports will present one live SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast, one live ShoBox: הדור החדש שִׁדוּר בְּטֵלֵוִיזִיָה, and five SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecasts, all free to network subscribers. יותר, SHOWTIME is in the early stages of planning for the return of four-division world champion אדריאן ברונר and undefeated star מייקי גרסיה in separate events this summer.
The spring lineup complements the network’s robust 2017 boxing schedule. In the first 10 weeks of the year, SHOWTIME Sports presented eight world championship fights, including two world title unification bouts (Jack vs. DeGale and Thurman vs. גרסיה, SHOWTIME Boxing on CBS), two world title rematches (פרמפטון נגד. Santa Cruz II and Linares vs. Crolla II), the live-stream of the first-ever boxing event on Twitter (ברונר לעומת. Granados), the resurgence of women’s boxing (Serrano vs. ריבאס) and the first women’s boxing main event in premium television history (מגן נגד. Szabados).
“SHOWTIME continues its unrivaled commitment to the sport. There simply is no other network in boxing delivering world-class events on a consistent basis,"אמרה סטיבן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר & מנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים.
“Our 2017 schedule already includes some 17 live boxing telecasts, 15 קרבות אליפות עולם, with the top-rated fighters squaring off in boxing’s deepest weight divisions. We continue to break the glass ceiling on women’s boxing, deliver the biggest bouts from overseas and see champions take on champions to unify divisions. We are proud to be re-shaping the boxing landscape both in and out of the ring.”

HBO Telecast in Primetime at approx. 10:45 p.m. ו/PT
אשראי תמונה: אמנדה ווסטקוט / SHOWTIME
לונדון (אפריל 17, 2017) – Matchroom Sport, קבוצת ניהול Klitschko (KMG) and K2 Promotions have reached agreement with U.S. premium television giants Showtime and HBO to televise the most significant heavyweight world championship match in more than a decade. ב יום שבת, אפריל 29, IBF Heavyweight World Champion אנתוני יהושע will face former unified world champion ולדימיר Klitschko from a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London.
Showtime is the exclusive U.S. television partner of Joshua, while HBO has an exclusive agreement with Klitschko in the States. Each premium network will produce its own separate telecast of the main event match for the U.S. קהל. SHOWTIME will televise its SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING presentation לחיות ב 4:15 p.m. ו/1:15 p.m. PT, while HBO will televise its WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING production בכ 10:45 p.m. ו/PT.
יהושע (18-0, 18 קוס) and Klitschko (64-4, 53 קוס) will meet for Joshua’s IBF World Championship and the vacant IBO and WBA World Championships. The British sensation Joshua has knocked out all 18 of his professional opponents in a meteoric rise to stardom, while the long-reigning world champion from Ukraine, Klitschko, aims to win back titles he previously held in his 11-year rule as heavyweight world champion. יהושע vs. Klitschko is promoted by Matchroom Boxing, KMG and K2 Promotions and has officially sold out Wembley Stadium with a record-setting 90,000 tickets sold.
“I’m extremely happy and thankful that our respective U.S. TV partners Showtime and HBO reached an agreement,” said Bernd Boente, Managing Director of Klitschko Management Group. “This happened before in the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and the Lewis vs. Tyson fights and shows you the magnitude of our event at Wembley Stadium on April 29.”
“I’m delighted to announce this historic deal that will see Britain’s biggest ever fight shown on both HBO and SHOWTIME in the U.S.,” said Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. “It takes a special fight to break down barriers and boundaries but also networks and executives who believe in working with the best interest of fight fans in mind. With the obstacles in place it would have been any easy resolution to not air the fight in the States but I want to thank HBO and Showtime for their perseverance and allowing America to see one hell of a fight at our national stadium in front on 90,000 passionate fans. יהושע vs. Klitschko is a fight for the ages and we look forward to the show!”
“We are thrilled to be delivering Joshua vs. Klitschko to the U.S. audience live on SHOWTIME,"אמרה סטיבן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר ומנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים. “On the afternoon of אפריל 29, מתגורר בארה"ב. sports fans will be able to tune in to SHOWTIME to join a record-breaking crowd of 90,000 at Wembley Stadium and a worldwide television audience in witnessing an event that represents not only the contesting of the heavyweight world championship, but potentially the changing of the guard in the most influential division in boxing. We are proud to be Anthony Joshua’s exclusive U.S. television partner as he attempts to establish his legacy against the legendary Wladimir Klitschko, live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, as Showtime continues its unrivaled commitment to the sport.”
Said Peter Nelson, executive vice president, ספורט HBO: “Both promoters and both networks have found a solution that enables boxing fans in the U.S. to watch the world heavyweight championship. This agreement ensures that our subscribers have access to same-day primetime coverage of the fight. It will mark Wladimir Klitschko’s 22nd appearance on HBO and the first for Anthony Joshua.”
The 27-year-old Joshua has been perfect since turning professional shortly after winning Gold at the 2012 Olympics for Great Britain. יהושע, of Watford, אנגליה, won the IBF Heavyweight World Championship with a second-round knockout of defending champion Charles Martin in April 2016, earning a heavyweight belt in the fewest number of fights in more than 20 שנים. He has since successfully defended the title twice—against Dominic Breazeale in June and Eric Molina in December.
Joshua is just the sixth Olympic Gold Medalist at super heavyweight to go on to win a professional heavyweight world title, joining Joe Frazier, ג'ורג 'פורמן, לנוקס לואיס, Alexander Povetkin and his rival on אפריל 29, ולדימיר Klitschko.
HBO has been the long-time home of Klitschko’s professional boxing career in the States. The 41-year-old has been a kingpin in the heavyweight division since winning Gold at the 1996 משחקים אולימפיים. He turned pro shortly after the Atlanta games and ran an undefeated campaign for 24 fights before suffering his first defeat to experienced veteran Ross Puritty. Klitschko quickly rebounded by winning 10 in a row and captured his first world title (WBO) with a unanimous decision victory over Chris Byrd in 2000, a win which avenged a loss by his brother, Vitali, earlier that year.
Klitschko’s most recent reign at heavyweight began in 2006 when he captured the IBF and IBO belts via knockout in a rematch against Chris Byrd. He went on to make 17 consecutive defenses of the IBF and IBO crowns, 13 consecutive defenses of the WBO belt, and eight consecutive defenses of the WBA title. לאורך הדרך, he amassed victories over Sultan Ibragimov, Hasim רחמן, רוסלן צ'גאיב, דייוויד היי, סמואל פיטר, אלכסנדר Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev and more. In total he has fought in 28 total world title fights – a unique record in the history of the heavyweight division – לעומת רק 18 total professional fights for Anthony Joshua. He was the longest reigning world champion (2006-2015) after Joe Louis.
This will be Klitschko’s first outing since losing the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO titles to Tyson Fury in 2015, his first defeat ב 11 שנים.
