    7 September: Ricky Burns defends his WBO world lightweight title against Raymudo Beltran at the SECC in Glasgow.
    21 September: Liverpool plays host to a Commonwealth title double header as Derry Mathews faces Curtis Woodhouse for the lightweight crown and Rocky Fielding tackling Mohammed Akrong for the super middleweight belt, followed by Erick Ochieng and Liam Smith battling for the British light middleweight title.
    28 September: We’re in Manchester to start a heavyweight night of boxing action as David Haye and Tyson Fury meet on Sky Box Office, with Scott Quigg challenging Yoandris Salinas for the WBA super bantamweight title. The action then switches overseas as Adonis Stevenson defends his WBC world light-heavyweight title against Tavoris Cloud from Montreal, Canada, with Liverpool’s Tony Bellew waiting for the winner later in the year.
    5 October: Olympic Gold medallist Anthony Joshua MBE makes his professional debut at The O2 in London, before the action moves to Florida, where Puerto Rican three-weight world champion Miguel Cotto tackles Devlin Rodriguez.
    12 October: Las Vegas is the destination for the mouth-watering clash between the unbeaten WBO world welterweight king Timothy Bradley and Mexican four-weight world champion Juan Manuel Marquez, while Orlando Cruz and Orlando Salido battle for the vacant WBO featherweight title.
    19 October: Mike Alvarado defends his WBO world light-welterweight title against exciting Russian Ruslan Provodnikov in Denver.
    26 October: Kell Brook faces the stiffest examination of his world title credentials when he hosts Vyacheslav Senchenko in Sheffield.

    Looking forward to Marquez v Bradley, and Alvarado v Ruslan, should be a great scrap that on.

    As for the rest im disappointed Joshua is headlining still and the Haye/Fury undercard is weak to say the least, Sept 21st looks great domestically, why not make that the undercard ffs
     
  4. extremely surprising that they are not showing Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin

    Interesting that that none of these fights are Golden Boy. It looks like VVarren hasn't lost the contract. Or maybe he has and no one has it.

    So Cloud/Stevenson will be on Sky Sports after Haye/Fury on Box Office? Interesting.

    As for Wlad/Povetkin, I don't think Sky rate the fight as enough of a spectacle to bother with. A shame but they might come in for Wlad's likely fight with Pulev.

    Some great fights picked up by Sky but BOXNATION's line-up for September alone beats SKY's line-up for both months. It does look like Sky have picked up most of the TopRank cards for the next two months but i'm pretty sure Boxnation will get Pac-Rios in November.

    This is BOXNATION's line-up for September/October
    (Some of these are confirmed and some are possibilities due to Boxnation's Goldenboy/Sauerland/K2 connection)

    Sept. 7
    Seth Mitchell vs. Cristobal Arreola, 12 rounds, heavyweights.

    Sept. 14
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, 12 rounds, WBA/WBC junior middleweight unification.
    Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse, 12 rounds, for Garcia's WBA/WBC junior welterweight title.
    Ishe Smith vs. Carlos Molina, 12 rounds, for Smith's IBF junior middleweight title.
    Pablo Cesar Cano vs. Ashley Theophane, 10 rounds, welterweights

    Marco Huck vs. Firat Arslan, rematch, 12 rounds, for Huck's WBO cruiserweight title

    Sept. 21
    Billy Joe Saunders vs. John Ryder, 12 rounds, for Saunders' British middleweight title.
    Dereck Chisora vs. Edmund Gerber, 12 rounds, for vacant European heavyweight title.
    Liam Walsh vs. Joe Murray, 12 rounds, for Walsh's Commonwealth junior lightweight title.
    Frankie Gavin vs. David Barnes, 12 rounds, for Gavin's British and Commonwealth welterweight title.

    Sept. 28
    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Brian Vera, 12 rounds, super middleweights.

    Oct. 5
    Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin, 12 rounds, for Klitschko's IBF/WBO/WBA heavyweight title.

    Oct. 19
    Robert Stieglitz vs. TBA, 12 rounds, for Stieglitz's WBO super middleweight title.

    Carl Frampton vs. Jeremy Parodi, 12 rounds, for Frampton's European junior featherweight title.

    Oct. 26
    Bernard Hopkins vs. Karo Murat, 12 rounds, for Hopkins' IBF light heavyweight title.

    I like the look of Skys schedule but some of it ppv.The 14th of September is amazing on Boxnation and the 21st is good but after they they could do with adding some more domestic content and make sure they get all the international cards they can get.The Khan fight should also be on boxnation

    If all those come off it will be great, at the minute October is looking weak.

    If Boxnation don't lowball K2 over Wlad/Povetkin they will secure that fight.
