Mathysse-Kiram and Linares-Gesta available on SKY PPV

Boxing this Sunday. Check it on Sky PPV.
Filipino Boxing fans with access to SKY PPV will be in for a treat this coming Sunday, as HBO's first boxing event under its fabled Boxing After Dark series will be shown locally via pay-per-view.

The main event of this Sunday's Boxing After Dark will have the WBA welterweight title will be up for grabs, with Lucas Matthyse and Tewa Kiram set to scrap for the belt.

This is Matthyse's second fight in this division, having beaten Emmanuel Taylor this past May in the undercard of Canelo vs Julio Cesar Chavez jr.. The 35-year-old has defeated the likes of Humberto Soto, Lamont Peterson, and Ruslan Provodnikov.

Matthyse, however, will be facing someone who is about to make his overseas debut. Kiram is ten years younger and has won all 38 of his fights. For the former Muay Thai fighter, this is arguably the biggest test of his boxing career.

Meanwhile, serving as the undercard for Mathysse-Kiram is Jorge Linares against Mercito Gesta.

Linares is the current WBA lightweight world champion, and he will be making his sixth title defense. The Tokyo-based Venezuelan hopes that a convincing victory here could potentially net him future opportunities against the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko.

Gesta has won five of his last six matches, with two of those coming by way of knockout. The San Diego-based Cebuano is currently being trained by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, the same man taking care of Manny Pacquiao.

Telecast is slated to begin at around 1030am, and for those interested, it is available for only PhP 149 at SKY Sports Pay-Per-View.
