A collection of Mike Tyson fights highlights the June line-up for the Friday night series “Showtime Boxing Classics.” All programs begin at 10 p.m. ET / PT.
Showtime kicks off the month on June 5 with the 2017 Fight of the Year Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko, in which Joshua got up from a knockdown to stop Klitschko and retain his heavyweight belts, and the 2013 Marcos Maidana vs. Adrien Broner brawl.
Five Tyson fights will air on June 12. His opponents: Francois Botha, Julius Francis, Lou Savarese, Brian Nielsen and Clifford Etienne. These were among the last fights in Tyson’s career, after he lost the championship to Evander Holyfield.
On June 19, the series will showcase Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch vs. Glen Johnson. Ward is back against Froch on June 26. Ward emerged as a star in part because of his victories in those fights.
Combat sports analysts Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell will host live companion episodes of their digital talk show “Morning Kombat” on the Morning Kombat YouTube Channel for select Showtime Boxing Classics telecasts. They watch the fights along with viewers, give their real-time reactions and take questions from fans throughout the replay.
Viewers can follow along and participate in the discussion by using the hashtag #FightFromHome on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
