A pair of massive fights were officially unveiled on Tuesday that will bolster Showtime Boxing’s schedule into the early stages of 2017. The cable giant announced five terrific cards between December and March, but two of the matchups are what has the boxing world abuzz.
On Jan. 28, the rematch of one of 2016’s best fights will commence as Carl Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs) will meet Leo Santa Cruz in a battle that could very easily be the best fight of next year. The two featherweights engaged in a memorable back-and-forth war in July, with the U.K.-bases Frampton coming out on top via decision.
