Sky Box Office HD will show eight live title fights in one night, including Amir Khan's Las Vegas debut, on Saturday, December 11.

The marathon event, called GR8 Britain vs The World, features world, European, Commonwealth and British title fights in a nine-hour broadcast from the UK, Germany and the USA.

World champion Khan, Havyweight challenger Dereck Chisora and the rest of British boxing's bright young things will light up Sky Box Office HD's biggest line-up to date.

Khan will top the bill as he defends his world light-welterweight title against hard-hitting mandatory challener, Marcos Maidana of Argentina at the Mandalay Bay.

Before that, heavyweight hope Chisora gets his crack at a Klitschko as he takes on WBO and IBF champion Wladimir in front of a huge crowd in Mannheim, Germany - in what will be only his 15th professional fight.
In Liverpool Welsh wizard Nathan Cleverly takes on Spain's Alejandro Lakatos in an eliminator for the WBO light-heavyweight title, knowing a win will guarantee him his own shot at a world crown.

Behind Cleverly is an all-British affair as Olympic golden boy James DeGale goes into the lion's den and challenges British super-middleweight champion, Paul Smith With George Groves waiting for the winner, DeGale can't afford to lose.

European light-middlweight king Matthew Macklin puts his belt on the line against another Spaniard, Ruben Varon, while another of our world-title hopefuls, Kell Brook, takes on wily American Michael Clark with the WBO Inter-Continental welterweight title at stake.

Sky Sports boxing commentator Jim Watt said: "This is a great night of boxing to look forward to with titles being contested in three different countries, Amir Khan making his Vegas debut and Dereck Chisora challenging for the world heavyweight crown.

"After the success of the first Magnificent Seven bill in September this is also a great chance to see some of the fantastic British boxing talent that we have, on home soil, with the likes of Nathan Cleverly, James DeGale, Kell Brook and Matthew Macklin who all

What a quality night :happy

 

That's what I was thinking :huh

On the Khan/Maidana undercard, there will be

Victor Ortiz Vs Lamont Peterson

James Kirkland is also meant to be on it but I don't see anything scheduled for him right now.

 

All for £15, Yes :good

 

You should be able to see Wlad-Chisora. Boxing Domain, the user, normally has a LEGAL link to that to watch in the U.S, and Khan-Maidana is on HBO, so you'lll get that.

No idea how you'll get the Sky card though. You'll have to figure that out on your own :good
