Canelo vs Kovalev start time expected to be after Midnight ET due to UFC 244

One of the biggest questions on any big fight night in boxing is when the main event of a high-profile card will actually start. Usually we can only make an educated guess, but tonight we’ve got a little more information.

Due to the fact that Canelo vs Kovalev is going head-to-head with UFC 244, DAZN have made the decision to hold off on starting Canelo-Kovalev until after UFC 244 is over. Right now, that means DAZN are expecting ring walks for the main event around 12:20 am ET / 9:20 pm PT.

We do have LIVE round-by-round coverage for the main card if you’re unable to watch live for whatever reason, so check that out and join in the discussion even if you are watching live.
