Moses Itauma v Jermaine Franklin, Deontay Wilder v Derek Chisora and Fabio Wardley v Daniel Dubois will all be broadcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.

Itauma’s fight with Franklin on Saturday in Manchester will kick off the heavyweight streak on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Wilder and Chisora collide in London on 4 April before Wardley defends his WBO heavyweight world title against Dubois on 9 May in Manchester.

There will be live text commentary of each fight night on the BBC Sport website and app, with video highlights available the next day.

Itauma defends his unbeaten and electric start to his professional career at Co-op Live arena as he takes on experienced operator Franklin.

The American has just two defeats on his record – to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua – and comes into the contest off the back of a big upset win over Ivan Dychko in September.

Wilder v Chisora at the O2 Arena is part of a packed weekend of boxing action on the BBC, with Lauren Price defending her welterweight world titles against Stephanie Pineiro in Wales on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

The main events for both fight nights will not clash, and you will be able to follow all the action from both events on the BBC Sport website and app.

Wilder and Chisora are both fighting in their 50th bout and, despite promising to retire before, Chisora has insisted he will hang up his gloves whether he wins or loses.

Wardley and Dubois bring an all-British world title fight to Manchester’s Co-op Live arena.

Londoner Dubois is aiming to become a two-time heavyweight world champion while Ipswich’s Wardley remains unbeaten in 21 bouts.
