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. An HBO Sports broadcast team will call all the action ringside from the S.A.P. Arena in Manheim, Germany.

The previously announced Shannon Briggs-Sultan Ibragimov heavyweight title fight has been taken down due to injury.

Immediately after the Klitschko-Austin showdown airings on March 10, HBO will present the half-hour boxing documentary-style special "COUNTDOWN TO BARRERA-MARQUEZ," which previews the upcoming March 17 HBO Pay-Per-View showdown between the two super featherweights in Las Vegas.
