Premier Sports can be found on Sky channel 433, coverage is available for £6.99 per month.  American TV exposure is provided by 'Shobox: The Next Generation', which is billing the night as 'Ireland's Finest', both Fury, 11-0 (9), and O'Donnell, 23-1 (11), have strong ties to the Emerald Isle.  Consequently, US fans can take a good look at the Fury phenomenon, the 22-year-old has talked up a storm in his career thus far and is the clear favourite going into Friday's contest.

Power, however, is also undefeated, he has amassed a 12-0 (9) record, though his competition has been modest and includes two debutants, Jack Beeman, in Power's second bout, and Merin Johnson, who provided Power with his tenth pro win.
