WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO VS. RAY AUSTIN

Two heavyweights add up to an eventful day of action when World Championship Boxing: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Ray Austin is seen from Mannheim, Germany at a special time on Saturday, March 10. The title fight will be available in HDTV, as well as closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired and presented in Spanish on HBO Latino.

HBO2 playdates: March 11 (9:00 AM, 4:30 PM) and 13 (11:30 PM). Times are ET/PT.

Wladimir Klitschko (47-3, 42 KOs), from Kiev, Ukraine, goes up against Cleveland's Ray Austin (24-3-4, 16 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round heavyweight championship bout, presented live at 4:45 PM ET/1:45 PM PT and replayed again at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. Klitschko, considered by many the standout among the current heavyweight champions, defends his title for the second time in his return to his adopted nation of Germany. Austin, a nine-year boxing veteran who has not lost a fight in five years, looks to upset the champ and bring the title back to America.
