Showtime Sports releases ’22 spring and summer boxing event lineup

Showtime Sports announced its 2022 full spring and summer events, featuring nine fight cards and lots of action and numerous titles on the line. 

On March 15, Showtime Sports released its 2022 spring and summer boxing event lineup, which includes nine events and lots of hardware on the line.

Via a press release, Showtime Sports highlighted that their collection of bouts includes 21 undefeated fighters, seven world championship matches, three world title eliminators, and an intense series of welterweight meetings.

The action begins on March 26 when undefeated Australian super welterweight Tim Tszyu makes his U.S. debut at The Armory in Minneapolis, MN, against Terrell Gausha.

One of the most noteworthy contests is a welterweight unification bout between WBC and IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. and WBA champion Yordenis Ugas on April 16 at AT & T Stadium in Arlington, TX, near Spence’s hometown Desoto.

The other crown jewel of Showtime Sports’ lineup is the rematch between IBF, WBA and WBC super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo and WBO titleholder Brian Castaño. The two fought to an exciting split-draw in July 2021, and they’re looking to finish old business.

Here’s the full rundown of Showtime’s spring and summer events.
