The showdown between Brixton’s Dillian Whyte and Lucas Browne for the WBC Silver heavyweight title at Greenwich’s O2 Arena on March 24 will be televised live in the United States –  exclusively on HBO.

Whyte is ranked number one in the WBC and is hunting a showdown with WBC king Deontay Wilder but unbeaten Australian Browne will be looking to hijack the South Londoner’s plans and move into the world title mix once again having held the WBA strap.

“This is a great fight and the biggest and most important in the division outside of the world heavyweight championships,” said Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn.

“Dillian has been working his way up the rankings and now sits pretty at WBC number one – we expect the winner of this fight to be in position for a mandatory shot at Deontay Wilder. It’s going to be an explosive, violent match up with plenty of bad blood between the two – don’t blink!”
