Sky TV will televise the April 4 showdown between WBC light-heavyweight titlist Adonis Stevenson, 25-1 (21), and Sakio Bika, 32-6-3 (21).  The bill will be added to their live coverage of Eddie Hearn’s show at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena, which features Stephen Simmons, Jon-Lewis Dickinson, Anthony Joshua and a host of other fighters.  An announcement will be made on tonight's edition of Ringside.

Once the dust settles in Newcastle, the station will switch to Quebec for the Canadian show.  Rising 175lbs star Artur Beterbiev’s showdown with Gabriel Campilo is on the undercard.  Beterbiev has raced to 7-0 (7), but should get some rounds against the Spaniard.

The main event sees Stevenson make the fourth defence of the title he won with a sensational single stanza KO win over chad Dawson in June 2013.  He has beaten Tavoris Cloud, Tony Bellew, Andrzej Fonfara and Dmitry Sukhotsky since then; he should repeat the trick against Bika, a former WBC title-holder down at 168.  Bika lost to Anthony Dirrell by decision last time out, which prompted a step up to light-heavyweight and the challenge to Stevenson.
