Sky Sports Announces Double Title Fight Show June 4

ByBoxing Press 13/05/2011

June 4 promises to be a special night for British boxing fans as Gavin Rees takes on Andy Murray in Cardiff for the European lightweight title before Carl Froch’s Super Six semi-final against Glen Johnson in America – both on Sky Sports.

Rees and Andy Murray tussle for the vacant strap at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, with tickets on sale now for what promises to be a great night of boxing on Saturday Night Fight Night.

Then in the early hours of Sunday morning, Nottingham star Froch lays his WBC super-middleweight title on the line in Atlantic City against Jamaican Glen Johnson, with a place in the Super Six final up for grabs.

Former WBA Super-Lightweight champion Rees welcomes the unbeaten Murray onto his home turf, with Rees returning to title action after vacating his British belt earlier in the year and Murray fights for his first major title after claiming Irish and EBU-EU honours in his 24 fight unbeaten stint as a pro.

Rees and Murray will follow a high-class undercard as Wales’ former IBO and European champion Jason Cook and Cardiff’s Frankie Borg add more local flavour. From Liverpool, former British and English super-middleweight champ Tony Dodson and ex-England lightweight champ Steve Williams make the short journey to Wales, while Belfast’s Barry McGuigan prospect Carl Frampton aims to move the unbeaten start to his career into double figures – opponents for the five fighters will be announced soon.

Tickets for the Gavin Rees v Andy Murray European title clash and full undercard are now on sale priced £30 unreserved and £50 ringside from the Motorpoint Arena Box-Office on 02920 224488.

  • Chris Billam-Smith vs Ryan Rozicki 03/06/2026
    Chris Billam Smith fighting for Zuffa for the first time this Saturday. I think he is being set up to face Jai Opetia later in the contract. CBS became world champion when more talented British boxers like Okole and Riakporhe did not. In fact he beat both and forced them to go up to heavyweight. Chris got easily beaten by Zurdo in a unification and we all kn […]

  • Where does Usyk go from here? 27/05/2026
    For once, I’m totally on board with the WBC. WBC moves to shut down Usyk-Verhoeven rematch talk I personally have NO wish to see a rematch between Rico and Usyk. Call it defensiveness of our sport. Just like I thought Fury’s narrow escape against Ngannou was cringeworthy… I also feel a sense of dread that we came “this close” to having a kickboxer defeat the […]

Weight Usyk was too heavy? Usyk not taking the fight seriously? Ukraine war on his mind? 7 posts - 5 participants Read full topic […]

  • Jai Opetaia saying what many of us think 26/05/2026
    Jai Opetaia Says Boxing Rewards Talk More Than Skill This has long been a thought of mine, but of course it’s always refreshing when an actual boxer says it. Jai is obviously considered by most to be the top dog at cruiser, a division which unfortunately lacks the big names. Surely avoided by many. It could be speculated that at some point Jai could follow t […]
