Chris Eubank Jr vs Matt Korobov: UK TV channel; how to watch

It may be hard to believe but Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua 2 is NOT the only boxing on UK TV tonight. Indeed it is not even the only show with British participation.

Main fights
The enigmatic Chris Eubank Jr returns to middleweight following a career-best win at 168lbs vs James DeGale, followed by 10 months’ inactivity. He faces Russian southpaw amateur standout Matt Korobov, who has mostly flattered to deceive as a pro but dropped a contentious decision to WBC ruler Jermall Charlo a year ago.
The latter meanwhile defends his belt - Canelo is the nonsense WBC Franchise champion at the weight - against Aussie-Irishman Dennis Hogan, a tough-as-nails battler who was very unlucky not to be given the verdict in a WBO super-welter challenge to Jamie Munguia in April.

Undercard
Filipino super-bantam Marlon Tapales, on a winning run of 12, faces Japan’s former IBF ruler Ryosuke Iwasa in an all-southpaw clash.
Virginia middle Immanuwel Aleem, who drew with Korobov in May, should beat Ronald Ellis of Massachusetts.
