Fight Time: 2:30 pm EDT
TV: BoxNation (UK - Live) / Showtime (US - Tape Delay,
airing after Garcia vs Judah)
Venue: Motorpoint Arena - Sheffield, England
Starting this afternoon at 2:30 pm EDT on BoxNation in the
United Kingdom, Amir Khan headlines at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield,
England, facing Mexican veteran Julio Diaz. As part of a solid undercard, American
heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder will take on Audley Harrison.
To be very clear: This is LIVE coverage of these fights.
Showtime will air Khan-Diaz on tape delay later tonight. BLH will not be
avoiding "spoilers" at all. This is a live sporting event, and it's
an afterthought for Showtime. If you don't want to know the result early, stay
off all of the internet, I guess.
Khan (27-3, 19 KO) hopes to get himself back into world
title contention soon, and he can't afford any mistakes today against Diaz
(40-7-1, 29 KO), a 33-year-old former lightweight titlist who has landed this
fight on the strength of a draw against Shawn Porter in December.
Wilder (27-0, 27 KO) is totally untested thus far, which
means we can't be totally sure what to expect of him, even against Harrison
(31-6, 23 KO), who has totally frozen in the spotlight in his last two major
bouts against David Haye and David Price. Audley is the best pro opponent
Wilder has ever faced -- and it's not close.
Also on the undercard: Gary Sykes vs Jon Kays for the
English super featherweight title, Terry Flannigan vs Nate Campbell, and the
pro debuts of Haroon Khan and Anthony Ogogo.
