If you’re a boxing fan in the UK, I’m curious, what are you watching? MVPW on Sky Sports Or Or Itauma on DAZN PPV Or Via @arielhelwani on X

What happened: MVPW-06 is scheduled from Birmingham, while Moses Itauma faces Filip Hrgovic at The O2 in London. Sky's main card begins at 7 p.m. BST; Itauma-Hrgovic is available as a DAZN pay-per-view.

Why it matters: The overlap gives viewers a choice between a women's super-welterweight unification and a vacant heavyweight title fight. It also puts an included Sky Sports card against a separate pay-per-view purchase.

By the numbers: MVPW-06's main event has three super-welterweight belts at stake: WBA, WBC and WBO. Itauma-Hrgovic is scheduled for the vacant IBF heavyweight title.

What to watch: Watch for both title-fight outcomes and any UK audience figures released afterward.
