Boxing tonight: Schedules, live streams, fight times, undercards, odds, predictions
BOXING tonight might not be taking place in the more familiar UK venues but there are plenty of fights going on with significance for some of the biggest fighters on this side of the Atlantic.
Boxing tonight will feature both Daniel Jacobs and Arthur Abraham
Daniel Jacobs vs Maciej Sulecki
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has been desperately trying to tell anyone in the UK just how good Daniel Jacobs is.
Hearn is look to crack the US with Jacobs at the forefront of his American stable and the 31-year-old is on the verge of earning a second crack at Gennady Golovkin, who beat him in a close points decision last year.
The American will face 26-0 Sulecki in a WBA final eliminator for the world title.
On the undercard, Ireland’s Katie Taylor will be looking to unify the WBA and IBF titles while Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller could become a lot better known to UK fight fans: the New Yorker has been linked with a bout against Anthony Joshua ahead of the Deontay Wilder clash.
TV channel and live stream: Sky Sports Main Event & Arena (Sunday morning 2am)
Fight time (approx): 2.15am Katie Taylor vs Victoria Bustos, 3.15am Jarrell Miller vs Johann Duhaupas, 4.15am Daniel Jacobs vs Maciej Sulecki
Odds (Betfair): Jacobs 1/14, Sulecki 13/2
Express Sport predicts: Jacobs on points
Undercard highlights: Katie Taylor, Jarrell Miller, Daniyar Yeleussinov (pro debut for Olympic gold medallist)
Arthur Abraham vs Patrick Nielsen
Abraham is swiftly becoming a gatekeeper for the super-middleweight division, although a man with his pedigree will hate that title.
The German’s last outing saw him comprehensively outboxed by Chris Eubank Jr at Wembley Arena while his last shot at a world title was two years ago when he lost to Gilberto Ramirez: he barely won a round across the 24 rounds.
Patrick Nielsen meanwhile needs to bounce back from a damaging defeat to John Ryder, who knocked him out in October.
Both men can ill-afford a loss and that could give this bout extra spice.
