Kovalev vs Shabranskyy live stream information, fight time and more ahead of the IBF and WBA world light-heavyweight showdown.

Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev returns to the boxing ring tonight since his second loss to American Andre Ward after two defeats back to back to him.

Ward has since retired entirely from the sport of boxing and left the light-heavyweight division blown wide open for the likes of Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson to hopefully start having unification bouts over the next while.

Before that however Kovalev must return tonight against a tough operator in Vyacheslav Shabranskyy of the Ukraine.

A big puncher himself.

The pair will trade blows at the iconic Madison Square Garden tonight in New York live on HBO in the USA and on Sky Sports for viewers in the UK and Europe.

The live ring walk for the fight is expected at approximately 11pm tonight in New York (ET), which works out at 8pm on the West coast (PT) in the US.

That translates to approximately 4am on Sunday morning GMT time for those in the UK and elsewhere on the GMT time zone.
