Showtime Sports has announced that they will “close out” a banner year of world-class boxing with back-to-back Saturdays featuring heavyweight world championship fights. Looks like there will be no more boxing on Showtime in 2017 past November 4.
The fights are the October 28 WBA/IBF heavyweight title clash between Anthony Joshua and mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, followed by the November 4 collision between WBC heavyweight king Deontay Wilder and undefeated contender Luis Ortiz from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
