Showtime Sports, in conjunction with NFL Films, is producing a new reality series that will give fight fans unprecedented access into the lives of the participants in the Super Six World Boxing Classic.

Dubbed "Fight Camp 360°: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic", the series will focus a powerful spotlight on the groundbreaking tournament from the kickoff press conference in July 2009 through the final tournament bout slated for 2011.

The series premieres on Saturday, Oct. 10 on Showtime at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The tournament format, created by Showtime Sports in association with five world-class boxing promoters, is a unique concept to boxing and one that has been lauded by industry experts and the sports media since its announcement.

Likewise, "Fight Camp 360°: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic" is unlike any other reality program in boxing.

There will be six episodes following the fighters not just in training camp, but during the intense moments leading up to their respective fights, in their corners during each bout and in the aftermath of every win, loss, or draw as the fighters recede from the limelight and begin to prepare for their next bout.

“Theround-robin nature of this tournament lends itself to a story arc and fight progression that has never before been seen in boxing,” said Showtime Sports General Manager Ken Hersh man.

“This series will set itself apart by chronicling each man through that progression. No one knows where each story will lead, but our cameras will be there every step of the way.

“Add in NFL Films breadth of experience and its trademark storytelling ability, and this series becomes exponentially more unique and compelling.”

The debut episode of "Fight Camp 360°: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic" will also take viewers behind the intrigue and the politics to reveal how the unprecedented boxing tournament came together.

The series is voiced by Bill St. James with music by NFL Films award-winning composer David Robidoux.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, the Super Six World Boxing Classic kicks off with Group Stage 1 bouts between Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor and Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell on Showtime at 8 p.m. ET/P). Group Stage 1 continues on Saturday, Nov. 21 with Mikkel Kessler vs. Andre Ward.
