Billy Joe Saunders is just days away from making his American debut.

The two-weight world champion will be in action on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Saunders is putting his WBO super-middleweight crown at stake at the Staples Center against little-known Marcelo Esteban Coceres.

The fight will play second fiddle to the professional rematch of KSI and Logan Paul.

But unfortunately for British fight fans, there will be no free-to-air portion of the bill on which Saunders will be screened.

The show’s promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport, who will work with Sky Sports Box Office in the UK as well as DAZN Stateside and Fite TV globally to ensure the fight reaches the masses, said as much in an interview during fight week.

“We looked at maybe putting Billy’s fight on or another fight on [free-to-air],” Hearn told iFL TV, “and timing-wise, [it wouldn’t have worked out, so] we just put the whole lot on pay-per-view."

However, the presence of Logan Paul and KSI, who have a combined total of 40 million YouTube subscribers, will ensure Saunders pockets one of the biggest purses of his 10-year career to date against the 28-year-old Argentine.

“The viewing figures and the number of buys that we’re going to do are huge for the time in the morning [UK time] when Billy Joe is on,” Hearn continued.

“If he was fighting on his own in LA at four or five o’clock in the morning, the viewing figures on normal Sky Sports aren’t going to be at the same level as you’re going to see on Saturday.”

KSI and Logan Paul drew when they fought at a sold-out Manchester Arena in a white collar encounter back in August 2018. They have since been licensed professionally, meaning that Saturday’s six-round clash will be contested in 10oz gloves and without headguards.

The rest of the card is made up of the first defence of the WBC lightweight title by recently crowned champion Devin Haney when the 20-year-old takes on undefeated Puerto Rican-based Dominican Alfredo Santiago and the professional debut of MMA fighter Josh Brueckner in the cruiserweight division, while Ronny Rios meets Hugo Berrio and Alexis Espino is joined by Reshat Mati, Diego Pacheco and Nikita Ababiy.
