We've got a packed line-up this weekend, with a Showtime double-header topping the bill. Bernard Hopkins takes on Karo Murat in the main-event on the Atlantic City show, while Peter Quillin will look to stay unbeaten against Gabriel Rosado on the undercard.
There's action from the UK too, with Kell Brook and Vyacheslav Senchenko in the Sheffield main-event. The undercard features Brian Rose and Francisco Javier Maciel in a battle of junior-middleweights.
Arthur Abraham takes on Giovanni De Carolis in Germany, with Jack Culcay rematching Guido Pitto on the undercard. Rounding out a busy weekend is another rematch, with Miguel Vazquez going up against Ammeth Diaz in Mexico.
