7 November, Smith v Fielding, Cardle v Dodd - Merseyside's two world ranked super-middleweights collide for the vacant British title in what promises to be one of the domestic clashes of the year, live on Sky Sports 1

28 November, Klitschko v Fury, DeGale v Bute -The autumn's finale sees Klitschko v Fury from Dusseldorf, live on Sky Sports Box Office. Plus James DeGale MBE defends his world title in Canada against Lucian Bute on Sky Sports 1
Adam Smith, Executive Producer of Sky Sports boxing, said: I have been with Sky for over 20 years and this is our biggest ever autumn of boxing, it's a fantastic schedule. Fans have had to wait a bit longer for the world heavyweight clash, but if their recent press conference is anything to go by, Klitschko v Fury promises to be a must-see fight.
Before we head to Dusseldorf at the end of November, there are five huge live fight nights. Sheffield on 24 October has a brilliant line up, with Kell Brook against Diego Chaves and Chris Eubank Jnr's first Sky Sports fight against Tony Jeter. There's also an exciting rematch between Crolla and Perez in November, as well as a fascinating super-middleweight clash, Abraham v Murray. The next few months are set to be massive for boxing fans. We can't wait!
Preview and analysis of all of this and the heavyweight contest of the year will be provided by Adam Smith, and former world champions Johnny Nelson, Carl Froch, Jim Watt and Glenn McCrory, as well as a range of boxing experts. On top of the extensive live schedule, Sky Sports viewers can look forward to a range of support programming, with preview shows, providing the best possible analysis of the fights across our channels and digital outlet including Ringside.
