Adrien Broner, Gervonta Davis, Jermall Charlo, Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack will all be fighting live on Sky Sports.

Adam Smith, Sky Sports' Head of Boxing, said: "We are thrilled to be adding even more World class international action to our sizzling Spring schedule.

"Four-division champion Broner is one of those boxing enigmas you can't take your eyes off, and the New York bill is packed with super support like Charlo and Davis.

"As for the Stevenson-Jack it is one of those in 2018 that we cannot wait to see. A wonderful clash of styles and a real pick 'em. More great action from across the pond live on Sky Sports."

I've noticed Sky usually pick up Showtime cards and Box-Nation pick up HBO/ESPN..

With the exception of Quigg/Valdez on ESPN as Quigg is with Matchroom/Sky.

Whenever I see that Sky have picked up a foreign fight I always think; what fight are they setting up here.

Broner-Khan
Charlo-Brook.

If so expect them in the studio and every fight to have shades of Barrera-Morales.

These foreign fight nights, which Eddie Hearn used to comment as being 'for the hardcore fan', appear to increasingly being used to fill the 20 live dates per year Sky Sports have for boxing?

centeno didnt win a round vs sulecki (ko loss) or williams, and williams already got ktfo by charlo

cuellar is a blown up 126 pound fighter who hasnt fought since 2016 or won since 2015

i mean, charlo and davis are usually good for knockouts at least, but certainly not competitevly matched those two

broner vs vargas and stevenson vs jack are though. very excited for stevenson vs jack.

Great, more potential fights for Macklin to repeat “as I say” over.

I've just tweeted Sky Sports Boxing, asking if they're showing Russell vs. Diaz as well as the Stevenson-Jack.

Sky Sports have scheduled it 2am -5:30am..

I know Showtime are doing a split-site telecast, I'm kinda hoping they show Russell-Diaz.
