Showtime has released an exclusive clip from “Return to Boxing,” which the premium network described as “a personal look at the role sports can play in healing a nation facing unprecedented challenges.

The piece, which will open the telecast in Showtime’s first post-lockdown card Saturday night, was written by executive producer David Dinkins Jr. and narrated by blow-by-blow commentator Mauro Ranallo.

The telecast will mark 141 days since the last live boxing event on Showtime.

“The squared circle has been a theater of thrills and metaphor for the struggle to overcome the odds,” Ranallo says. “While sport is not real life, it is a mirror of the human spirit.”

Angelo Leo (19-0, 9 KOs) will fight Tramaine Williams (19-0, 6 KOs) for a vacant junior featherweight title in the main event of the three-fight show at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn.

Coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
