Boxing tonight: TV channels, live streams, start times and fight cards

Thor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall's boxing match is the biggest fight on a weekend of title action for British fighters around the world.

Bjornsson and Hall will square off on a one-fight card at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium at prime time on Saturday night, but they're far from the only fighters competing. Earlier in the evening, at the same venue, Sunny Edwards will defend his flyweight world title against Muhammad Waseem.

Back at home, David Avanesyan will defend his European title against the unbeaten Oskari Metz at the OVO Arena Wembley. And later in the night over in America, Michael McKinson will face late notice replacement Alex Martin after Vergil Ortiz Jr and his replacement Jesus Antonio Perez Campos pulled out during fight week. On the opposite coast, Edgar Berlanga returns to the ring at the Hulu Theater in New York.

Here's all you need to know about tonight's fights....
