http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...514579,00.html
Sky Box Office HD will show eight live title fights in one night, including Amir Khan's Las Vegas debut, on Saturday, December 11.
The marathon event, called GR8 Britain vs The World, features world, European, Commonwealth and British title fights in a nine-hour broadcast from the UK, Germany and the USA.
World champion Khan, Havyweight challenger Dereck Chisora and the rest of British boxing's bright young things will light up Sky Box Office HD's biggest line-up to date.
Khan will top the bill as he defends his world light-welterweight title against hard-hitting mandatory challener, Marcos Maidana of Argentina at the Mandalay Bay.
Before that, heavyweight hope Chisora gets his crack at a Klitschko as he takes on WBO and IBF champion Wladimir in front of a huge crowd in Mannheim, Germany - in what will be only his 15th professional fight.
In Liverpool Welsh wizard Nathan Cleverly takes on Spain's Alejandro Lakatos in an eliminator for the WBO light-heavyweight title, knowing a win will guarantee him his own shot at a world crown.
Behind Cleverly is an all-British affair as Olympic golden boy James DeGale goes into the lion's den and challenges British super-middleweight champion, Paul Smith With George Groves waiting for the winner, DeGale can't afford to lose.
European light-middlweight king Matthew Macklin puts his belt on the line against another Spaniard, Ruben Varon, while another of our world-title hopefuls, Kell Brook, takes on wily American Michael Clark with the WBO Inter-Continental welterweight title at stake.
Sky Sports boxing commentator Jim Watt said: "This is a great night of boxing to look forward to with titles being contested in three different countries, Amir Khan making his Vegas debut and Dereck Chisora challenging for the world heavyweight crown.
"After the success of the first Magnificent Seven bill in September this is also a great chance to see some of the fantastic British boxing talent that we have, on home soil, with the likes of Nathan Cleverly, James DeGale, Kell Brook and Matthew Macklin who all

Re: Khan v Maidana confirmed Sky Box Office..
Bellew is now fighting McKenzie which could be a good 50/50 fight, especially going off Tonys last performance.

Not sure on the Chisora undercard, German locals I expect.
Ortiz will be fighting on Khans undercard and he's potentially a future khan opponent.
Skel- do you know if Saunders will end up getting a fight? He was down to fight, but against an un-named opponent.
Not to sure mate, if he is I doubt he makes it on tv.

Its gonna be a fight marathon. The Khan fight will probably be on around 4.15am UK time, unless they are going to do it a little earlier for the UK audience.
I'm normally good until at least 3.30am, but ive lost count of the amount of times ive woke up on the sofa having slept through the fight!
Definitly going to be a long one, I usually head to bed for a couple of hours to ensure I stay up, not sure how I'm gonna get round this one- gonna be enjoyable though!! ;D

I'll just go over to my buddy's house to freeload, he's a subscriber to HBO. I'm pretty sure this isn't on HBO PPV but just a regular telecast for them.
