DAZN, 2:00 pm ET, Liam Smith vs Anthony Fowler. This card is going to fly under the radar this week, for obvious reasons, but Matchroom have put together a good looking show in Liverpool that should have nice action. Along with Smith-Fowler in the battle of Liverpool, Ted Cheeseman faces Troy Williamson for Cheeseman’s British 154 lb title, Shannon Courtenay defends her WBA 118 lb belt against Jamie Mitchell, and more. Bad Left Hook will have live coverage.
BT Sport (UK), 2:00 pm ET, Brad Foster vs Jason Cunningham, Ekow Essuman vs Danny Ball. This is not a bad show, really, and Callum Johnson will also return in a stay-busy sort of fight, as well as Liam Davies and others. But it’s just not going to move the needle for many given the direct competition and the fact that Fury-Wilder 3 owns the week.

ESPN+, ESPN2 and FS1, 7:00 pm ET, Fury vs Wilder 3 Undercard. Do not get this confused: There will be a three-fight undercard on the PPV card, but these are more early fights fishing for last-minute buys. There will be two fights on this portion of the card. Bad Left Hook will have live coverage.
