FOX Australia, 5:00 am ET, Conor Wallace vs Jerome Pampellone. Wallace and Pampellone fight for a very regional sanctioning body doodad, and Nikita Tszyu fights for TWO! Also, Michael Zerafa! No TV here in the USA, and I wouldn’t expect any to surprise us later. But, Australians read this site, too!

DAZN, 12:00 pm ET, MF x DAZN: X Series 17 press conference. A lady got hit with a fish at one of these once, I think. Who knows what shenanigans might happen this time?
TrillerTV+, 10:00 pm ET, Fight Club OC. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, plus the young cast of 2003’s hottest teen soap? 20 years ago, this would have been a monster show. You can get it Thursday night for the cost of your TrillerTV+ subscription!
Friday, Aug. 30
DAZN, 12:00 pm ET, MF x DAZN: X Series 17 weigh-in. History suggests that if there’s anyone with an OnlyFans, they’ll probably do the weigh-in wearing lingerie. You can watch if that’s relevant to your boxing fandom.
DAZN, 7:30 pm ET, Elijah Pierce vs Jose Sanmartin. This is an Overtime Elite show, which you may remember from when they ran weekly Friday cards for a month or two. Interesting stuff happens on these cards sometimes… Truck Simpson and Kurt Scoby both lost for the first time on Overtime Elite Friday shows! Brandon Adams is on the undercard this time. And, if you’re the sort of Greek jingoist looking for someone to venerate between George Kambosos fights? Andreas Katzourakis (13-0, 10 KO) is also here, ready to show you he might just be the next Vinny Walnuts at middleweight!
Saturday, Aug. 31
DAZN PPV, 2:00 pm ET, X Series 017: Danny Aarons vs Danny Simpson. Which of these Dannys will reign supreme atop Danny Mountain? Gotta watch to find out. Why does this cost $39.99 American, even though KSI isn’t fighting? Well, instead of throwing hands, KSI will be telling you to throw your hands… WAY UP IN THE AIR! He’ll be “performing a live concert involving special guests” instead of “boxing” because of a golf-related injury. Is KSI even a musician? I don’t know, man, and this job already gives me enough search engine algorithm problems. You’ll have to investigate that mystery yourselves.
DAZN, 7:30 pm ET, Diego Pacheco vs Maciej Sulecki. Pacheco is still just 23, already a headliner (whatever that means when two guys named Danny are “headlining” a different DAZN show earlier in the day), and keeps passing the eye test while handling business against increasingly serious prospect checkers and gatekeepers. Challenging him this time is the 35 year old Sulecki, who has beaten everyone he’s faced other than Demetrius Andrade and Danny Jacobs. Undercard includes the US debut of 27 year old Mexican junior lightweight Eduardo Nunez, who boasts knockouts in all 26 of his pro victories. Also, Cheavon Clarke and Ginny Fuchs! BLH will have live updates.
UFC Fight Pass, 9:00 pm ET, Hollywood Fight Nights. Cain Sandoval vs Romero Duno is your main event.
