The last two months of 2026 hold one of the strongest runs of boxing in years: a long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown, a WBC heavyweight title defence in front of a stadium crowd in Germany, a unified light heavyweight title fight and a December grudge match in Belfast. Here is the schedule in date order, with where each fight is broadcast and what Canadian viewers should know about timing.

Fight dates and broadcast deals change often in boxing. Treat this table as correct at the time of publishing and confirm with the promoter or broadcaster in fight week.
November 7: Billam-Smith vs. Clarke
A cruiserweight rematch with a long memory. Cheavon Clarke beat Chris Billam-Smith in the final of Britain’s national elite amateur championships in 2016, and Billam-Smith, a former world champion as a professional, has made no secret of wanting that one back. The 10-round fight headlines Zuffa Boxing 12, and it is one of the few fights on this list with a clear Canadian home: the card streams live on Paramount+ in the US and Canada. A London evening card means a Saturday afternoon start in Canada.
November 14: Pacheco vs. Fulghum
Unbeaten super middleweight Diego Pacheco (26-0, 19 KOs) puts his regional belts on the line against Darius Fulghum (15-1-1, 13 KOs) at Dignity Health Sports Park, according to Fight Mag. The US broadcast is on DAZN, TNT and truTV. Canadian viewers should check DAZN Canada’s schedule for the event listing. As a California card, this one runs in the Canadian evening.
November 28: Kabayel vs. Hysa
Agit Kabayel (27-0, 19 KOs) makes the first defence of his WBC heavyweight title at home in Germany, against unbeaten Albanian Nelson Hysa (25-0, 23 KOs). The Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf is set up for a crowd of around 60,000. The WBC lists DAZN as the broadcaster. Main events in Germany usually go off late in the evening local time, which is mid to late afternoon in Eastern Canada.
December 11: Fury vs. Joshua
The fight British boxing waited a decade for, live on Netflix from Cardiff on a Friday night. The ring walk is expected around 8 p.m. Eastern if Cardiff Council approves the requested 1 a.m. UK slot. We have a separate Fury vs Joshua guide with the full time-zone table and what is still unresolved about the title.
December 12: Bivol vs. Smith
Dmitry Bivol defends his unified WBA, IBF and WBO light heavyweight titles against Callum Smith at UMMC Arena in Yekaterinburg, Russia, as Yahoo Sports reported. It is Bivol’s second fight since his rematch win over Artur Beterbiev. Yekaterinburg is ten hours ahead of Eastern Canada in December, so an evening main event there falls in the Canadian morning or around midday. We could not confirm a Canadian broadcaster at the time of writing; check back in fight week.
December 19: Cacace vs. Ball
Anthony Cacace makes the first defence of his WBA 130-pound title against Nick Ball, the former WBA featherweight champion, in Belfast. The Ring has the background. Ball is coming back from losing his title to Brandon Figueroa in February, so he arrives with something to prove. Listings show the card on DAZN.
Plan ahead if you follow several fights
Following everything on this list means four different services: Paramount+, DAZN, Netflix and whichever broadcaster picks up Bivol vs. Smith. A little planning helps:
- Stagger your subscriptions. Several of these services offer monthly plans, so check whether you can start and stop around the fights you care about.
- Test each app on your TV before fight night. Sign-in problems are far easier to solve on a Wednesday than five minutes before the main event.
- Keep the main screen wired. Our guide on freezing during live sports covers the usual culprits.

No live TV reseller, us included, holds those rights, and we do not promise that any fight or pay-per-view will be available.
