Showtime Boxing schedule 2021: Gervonta Davis vs. Mario Barrios; Jermall and Jermell Charlo highlight slate

PBC unveiled a plan for more than 13 fights over the summer including a return to PPV

Showtime Boxing is ready for a big summer. After a few smaller fights to begin the year, including the return of Adrien Broner, Showtime and Premier Boxing Champions has outlined a schedule to run from May 15 through Sept. 11 that features nine fight cards. The cards are highlighted by the return of both Charlo brothers and Gervonta "Tank" Davis moving up two weight classes to challenge for a title. The action begins with Luis Nery defending his WBC super bantamweight crown against Brandon Figueroa on May 15. Then in June, Jermall Charlo looks to defend his WBC middleweight crown against contender Juan Macias Montiel in his hometown of Houston. A week later, Davis makes the move up to 140 pounds to challenge Mario Barrios for the WBA junior welterweight title and become a three-division world champion. "High-impact, meaningful fights amongst many of the biggest names and brightest stars in combat sports. That is what Showtime promises and that is what we are delivering," Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza said in a statement. "With an opportunity to crown an undisputed world champion at 154, a highly anticipated super bantamweight title unification, a stacked pay-per-view showdown and more than a dozen fights between 118-168 pounds, Showtime is presenting boxing's best young fighters, all daring to be great by putting their world titles and undefeated records on the line. This schedule's caliber and volume – the deepest and most consistent of any network or platform -- exemplifies our commitment to the sport. Between this incredible lineup of boxing events and our new partnership with Bellator MMA, with a live event nearly every week, there is no better value proposition in combat sports."
