What Time Is Boxing on TV Saturday 7 November?

UK boxing 2026 Joshua Buatsi, Willy Hutchinson, Chris Billam-Smith, Cheavon Clarke

British boxing has arranged a scheduling problem worth clearing your evening for. The boxing on TV Saturday 7 November features Joshua Buatsi’s world-title rematch with Willy Hutchinson in Manchester and Chris Billam-Smith’s grudge fight against Cheavon Clarke in London. Both shows begin at 19:00 GMT on their main UK platforms, and both headline bouts could reach the ring at almost the same moment.

All times are GMT. Ring walks are estimates, subject to undercard duration, stoppages and the broadcasters’ running orders. Sky also streams London preliminaries from 17:00 on its digital platforms, with coverage on Sky Sports Main Event listed from 22:00.

Why Are the Two Main Events So Compelling?

Buatsi beat Hutchinson by split decision at Wembley in September 2024, helped by knockdowns in rounds six and nine. The rematch is now for the vacant WBC light-heavyweight world championship, a more significant prize than the interim belt originally advertised. Neither man has the luxury of treating this as a routine domestic contest.

n east London, Billam-Smith faces an old amateur rival. Clarke beat him in the 2016 national elite final, and the former cruiserweight world champion has not forgotten. “I’ve got a lot of bitterness inside me,” Billam-Smith told Sky Sports. Their contest is scheduled for ten rounds, rather than a twelve-round world-title bout.

Which Undercard Fights Should You Watch?

Manchester has Jack Rafferty against Hovhannes Martirosyan in an IBO welterweight title fight. Bradley Rea versus Ezra Taylor and Zak Miller versus Gully Powar also feature, giving viewers alternatives before the Buatsi-Hutchinson main event.

London’s Zuffa Boxing 12 includes Denzel Bentley versus Shane Mosley Jr at middleweight, plus Zach Parker against Umar Dzambekov. Bentley’s fight is particularly well placed to compete for attention during the later stages of Manchester’s undercard. Exact running orders can change even after fight week begins. That makes supporting fights useful viewing rather than a reliable countdown clock: a quick finish in either city could bring its headline bout forward.

Boxing Betting Odds for Saturday 7 November

Four contrasting selections show why the two cards demand different betting approaches. One main event is closely priced; the other has a pronounced favourite.

The straight winner market is only the starting point. Method of victory and distance bets offer a more specific opinion, but the extra conditions change both the payout and the risk. Look at the number of scheduled rounds before assessing an over/under line.

How Can You Watch Both Boxing Cards?

Keep DAZN on the main screen and Sky Sports on a second device, provided your subscriptions permit simultaneous viewing. BBC Sport also plans live text coverage of Buatsi-Hutchinson from 21:00. If both ring walks collide, prioritise your chosen main event and follow updates from the other venue.

Two excellent fights do not require two simultaneous bets. The timetable matters more than any pre-fight prediction once the opening bells approach. Make your selections before the late undercards if you prefer fixed prices, or wait for the ring-walk order to become clear before considering live markets.
