TSZYU v SPARK

  • Wednesday, JULY 7 from 7pm AEST

UFC 264: POIRIER v MCGREGOR 3

  • Sunday, JULY 11 from 12pm AEST

Fight mania will fire up this week on MAIN EVENT with two unmissable events, Tszyu v Spark on Wednesday, July 7 and UFC 264 on Sunday, July 11.

Fans will have better access to all of the action than ever before with MAIN EVENT being the only place to watch both events Live on FOXTEL and Kayo.

In a major coup for boxing and UFC fans, both events plus all future Main Event fights will now be available to stream via pay-per-view on Kayo at mainevent.kayosports.com.au, in addition to purchasing through Foxtel.

The action begins on Wednesday night when the biggest name in Australian boxing and Australia’s number one boxer Tim Tszyu will take on contender and rising boxer Stevie Spark.

Tim Tszyu holds an impressive current undefeated record of 18-0, including 14 wins by knockout and is now ranked inside the top 10 with all major sanctioning bodies. Tszyu became the hero of Newcastle in March this year when he defeated world-ranked opponent Dennis Hogan and now makes his return to the dubbed ‘Tszyucastle’ Entertainment Centre looking to take down Spark as he edges his way closer to a world title fight.

His opponent Stevie Spark is already winning praise after stepping in on seven days’ notice with original opponent Michael Zerafa pulling out of the fight. The 24-year-old boxer from Toowoomba has been rising up the ranks in Australia with a pro-record of 12 wins, including 11 by knockout and 1 loss. His most recent win was over Jack Brubaker, an opponent he shares with Tszyu, via unanimous decision in April. The July 7 bout with Tszyu will see Spark jump up a division to super welterweight.

On Sunday, July 11, two of the top UFC lightweights go head-to-head once again in UFC 264 when the infamous Conor “The Notorious” McGregor faces the No.1 Lightweight contender Dustin Poirier in an explosive trilogy bout.

McGregor and Poirier will finally settle their rivalry when they clash in their Lightweight trilogy bout on UFC 264. The pair first fought in a Featherweight bout at UFC 178 back in September 2014 where McGregor made quick work of Poirier scoring a TKO win in less than two minutes. McGregor went on to become a two-division champion as Poirier matured into one of the greatest lightweights in UFC history. The pair squared off in a Lightweight rematch in January at UFC 257, where Poirier prevailed via a second-round knockout. This week at UFC 264, one man will have their hand raised and claim superiority in the rivalry, seven years after it began.

Also on the card, Australian UFC fighter ‘Bam Bam’ Tai Tuivasa steps into the Octagon to face Greg Hardy in the Heavyweight bout. Tuivasa is looking for his third consecutive win after previously knocking out Stefan Struve and Harry Hunsucker taking his record to 12-3.

PACQUIAO v UGAS

WWE SUMMERSLAM

It’s set to be an explosive Sunday on MAIN EVENT and double the action for fans with an international boxing world title fight showdown as well as the biggest event of the summer in the WWE calendar on Foxtel on Kayo.

Beginning at 10.00am AEST with WWE SummerSlam on Fox Sports More 507 becoming a secondary Main Event channel, Pacquiao v Ugas from 11.00am AEST on the Main Event channel and with both events also available on Kayo, fans can get their double-fix and won’t miss a moment of the action.

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao returns to the ring after two years to take on WBA Welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas for the title and belt.

Manny Pacquiao has the opportunity to regain the welterweight world championship. The legendary ‘Pac Man’ is stepping into the ring for the first time since 2019, when he beat Keith Thurman to win the WBA’s ‘Super’ title. During that hiatus, the WBA recognised his upcoming opponent Ugas as champion. Pacquiao has won titles in a record eight weight divisions and on Sunday will seek to become a champion once more.

His opponent Yordenis Ugas enters into this fight on late notice with original opponent Errol Spence Jr having to step down due to an eye injury. The 35-year-old boxer from Cuba beat Abel Ramos for that vacant WBA regular welterweight title in September before being elevated to WBA super champion, and now makes his first title defence against the fighter who originally held it.

Ahead of Pacquiao v Ugas, fans can get immersed into the ‘Pac Man’ spirit with classic Manny Pacquiao fights available to stream on Kayo Freebies throughout the week. They include Pacquiao’s bouts against Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather, Keith Thurman and Aussie Jeff Horn as well as the best fights and knockouts throughout his career.

The biggest party of the Summer in WWE will take place in Las Vegas with the 34th edition of one of its signature events, 2021 WWE SummerSlam, and it’s set to be headlined by a pair of world title matches featuring returning legends.

The legendary John Cena returns to WWE to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal championship. With history in his sights, if he wins at SummerSlam Cena will become a 17-time world champion and surpass Ric Flair in WWE’s record books for the most world title reigns in history.

Also in the line-up and fresh off successfully cashing in her Money in the Bank contract, Nikki A.S.H will defend her Raw women’s championship against former champions Charlotte Flair and Aussie Rhea Ripley .

UFC 266 Volkanovski v Ortega

WATCH ON FOXTEL, STREAM ON KAYO

UFC returns to Las Vegas for UFC 266 headlined by double-header title fights. Australia’s own and current champion Alexander Volkanovski will go head-to-head against former title challenger Brian Ortega for the Featherweight title bout. Valentina Shevchenko looks to continue her reign against Lauren Murphy in the Women’s Flyweight title bout.

Our Aussie, Alex Volkanovski, defends his Featherweight championship belt against Ortega. The two have gone head-to-head all season out of the octagon as opposing coaches on the latest season of “The Return of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Volkanovski v Team Ortega”, and with the pair’s previously scheduled fight in March cancelled due to Volkanovski contracting Covid, we will now be able to see who the real champion is.

Volkanovski is a powerhouse in the Featherweight division, claiming the belt in December 2019 from Max Holloway. In winning the title, he has become Australia’s greatest current fighter, ranked #4 in the UFC pound for pound world rankings. He enters this fight aiming for his 20th consecutive win.

Ortega has been a mainstay in the UFC world for years, however, was sidelined for a while after losing to Max Holloway in December 2018. Ortega returned in October with an impressive win over Chan Sung Jung, setting up the title shot to face Volkanovski.

In the co-main event, Women’s Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko comes into this fight with five successful title defences and will defend yet again against Lauren Murphy. Murphy will get her first ever title shot inside the UFC after climbing up the division on a five fight winning streak.

Fans down under are in for a massive treat for UFC’s second PPV of the year.

The action doesn’t stop there with another Australian Tai ‘Bam Bam’ Tuivasa taking on local Texan Derrick Lewis in a huge Heavyweight bout for the Co-main event.

UFC will deliver the best that its Middleweight division has to offer with Adesanya and Whittaker meeting for a second time. Adesanya “The Last Stylebender” enters his title defence with a 10-0 record defeating the likes of Marvin Vettori, Paulo Costa, Yoel Romero, Kelvin Gastelum, Derek Brunson and Anderson Silva and of course the man he rolled over the win the UFC Middleweight crown.

Whittaker “The Reaper” appeared poised to build himself as UFC’s second greatest Middleweight champion behind the legendary Silva, until Adesanya delivered him a knockout blow in front of his own home crowd in at UFC 243 in Melbourne in 2019. Since then, the former champion has been defending his No.1 contender position with consecutive wins over Gastelum, Jared Cannonier and Darren Till.

When is the main event?

The main event is planned to take place at around 1pm AEST.

It’s been the tradition that there are undercards before the main boxing bout (just like curtain raisers at an NRL or AFL match) to keep the crowd entertained. The above schedule shows there will also be two undercards after the main event.
