We've got six fights on the week 5 line-up, including a cruiserweight clash from Germany, that features a couple of the best 200lb fighters in the world in Steve Cunningham and Yoan Pablo Hernandez.

Also on the game-sheet is the HBO double-header, with Nonito Donaire taking on Wilfredo Vazquez Jr and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr squaring off against Marco Antonio Rubio.

There's yet more cruiserweight action on the undercard of Cunningham-Hernandez, with Alexander Alexeev and Enad Licina battling it out for the European title. Plus, we have a pair of fights on Friday, with Ovil McKenzie going up against Tony Dodson on Box Nation, and the FNF main-event between Isaac Chilemba and Edison Miranda.
