Deontay Wilder's fight with Luis Ortiz will be live on Sky Sports - and if he wins, he will be ringside for Anthony Joshua's huge unification fight.
The 'Bronze Bomber' will be defending his WBC heavyweight title against the unbeaten Cuban at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, on March 3.
And if he retains the belt he will be part of the Sky Sports Box Office team for Joshua's Cardiff fight with WBO champion Joseph Parker, four weeks later.
Sky Sports' Head of Boxing, Adam Smith, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have Deontay Wilder back on Sky Sports - both live in the ring, defending his WBC heavyweight crown against unbeaten southpaw Luis Ortiz, and also ringside with us in Cardiff for AJ-Parker.
"He wants one champion in the division, so he has to get past Ortiz first and then he will get closer to that by being at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff, with three belts on the line.
