Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing on Friday announced the full schedule for Fight Camp, which will take place throughout August at Matchroom’s headquarters outside London and mark the organization’s return to live action from its coronavirus-prompted hiatus.

The boxing series will feature all outdoor fights over the span of four weeks in Brentwood, England.

Fight Camp will end with a bang on Aug. 22, when Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KOs) will face Alexander Povetkin (35-2-1, 24 KOs) in a heavyweight bout. Katie Taylor (15-0, 6 KOs) also will defend her lightweight titles that night.

Taylor’s opponent has not been announced, but Hearn has said he’s working on a deal with Amanda Serrano.

The fights will be shown live on DAZN in the U.S. and Sky Sports in the U.K., with the final week on Sky Sports Box Office.
