Premier Sports bringing world title action to UK fight fans

Coverage continues on Premier Sports this weekend as part of their 'four world title fights in four weeks' as they travel to Russia for Dmitry Pirog’s WBO middleweight defence against Argentinian Javier Maciel on Saturday at the time of 16:00 GMT.

Also confirmed for April 2nd we have the highly anticipated rematch of Ring magazine’s fight of 2010 with Giovanni Segura defending his WBO light flyweight title against Ivan Calderon. The 2010 first match even outshone Khan and Maidana for edge of the seat action and rivalry with pure boxer taking on rugged puncher in a battle between Mexico and Puerto Rico.

On April 23rd they will be covering the Showtime bantamweight tournament final live from the Nokia Centre, LA. This superb event will feature two top class fights with Joseph Agbeko defending his IBF title against undefeated rising star Abner Mares while Vic Darchinyan takes on Yonnhy Perez in the consolation bout.

Also to remember in April is their World Series of Boxing coverage which enters the semi-final stages with the following fixtures:

April 8/9th Buku Fires v Paris United 

April 8/9th Astana Arlans v Los Angeles Matadors 

April 15/16th Paris United v Buku Fires 

April 15/16th Los Angeles Matadors v Astana Arlans

Unfortunately, despite their efforts, Premier Sports are still no closer to securing coverage via the Virgin Media platform.  This means a lot of fight fans (including the seething editor of BoxRec News) can't access this high quality fare via their set top boxes.
