Regarding the "most important" features that you questioned.

Apart from who and when, the most important things for me are
- any titles on the line.
- the boxing records of the boxers (linking to boxrec is a must)
- the *importance* of the matchup.

I say *importance* because with 17 divisions and four major belts and an average of 2,5 defences per year, you have 170 title fights per year, or about 15 per month. Some of these fights are "cannot miss fights", but some of these fights are like Ivan Itchycock vs TBA.

Sometimes non-title fights are the most important, but rarely.

Good luck.

some good ideas there. especially the linking to boxrec.

such an app should allow users to decide if they want to see the fights schedule sorted per country, per title/abc org, per weight class, per importance (for example : show only 4/5+ stars fights only). channel that broadcasts it and a time would be great too but i know it would be difficult.

i would like to have such an app, i'd like to follow boxing scenes that are exotic to me due to my localization and nationality like Japan, such app would make it easier i guess

Would suggest following the Asianboxing twitter account for the Japanese stuff
