    That's according to boxrec's schedule. And after this Friday's Gethin-Diaz fight on Boxnation no live UK fights on there until 6th July (Price-Thompson.)

    Am I missing something? If not it's going to be a pretty barren four or five weeks. Sky really spoiling us.

    think they are missing a trick not putting more shows on when the football seasons finished or international breaks surely the viewing figures will be better

    I agree 5 weeks is too big of a gap,bad planning from Hearn,It looks like we will have 3 in a row after that but it would of been better if thy were spread out.I hope they macklin-Golovkin that night or that boxnation does

    Frank was supposed to have a show on 15th but that's moved to July.

    Hearn had 3 shows in 3 weeks which is good whilst its happening but leaves a huge gap now.

    He needs more dates though and that's ultimately down to sky.

    could have followed up all the media attention on froch and boxing with a few shows quickly after to keep people interested

    If they're serious about getting Bellew the winner of Dawson v Stevenson they should pick that up.

    I am cancelling sky sports this week, i only really have it for the boxing and will watch the footy but too many fannys in the premier league and no where near enough boxing on to justify 20 quid a month.

    You'd think sky would pick up the Dawson fight, makes sense to have Bellew and Maybe Froch as pundits.

    Shame there's no UK leg though.

    The big factor here though is the lack of dates, with Frank being semi retired now, Hatton having no deal and Maloney being utter shite it's now a problem.

    I think this Saturday will be a repeat of the Froch fight and the following Saturday will be the Dawson is fight I`m looking forward too and it`s good to see some international content on Sky..

    I bet it's Froch/Kessler on regular sky this week, only other boxing would be the Coldwell show.

    Hopefully the week after is Dawson though.

    It is the end of the season, there really should not be any boxing until September.
