Nearly a week’s worth of live and taped programming will be available on SHOWTIME, SHOWTIME EXTREME®, SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, on mobile devices via SHOWTIME ANYTIME®, and on the premium network’s website at SHO.com/Sports. 
 
The blitz of programming will feature classic fights, the premiere of ALL ACCESS: Canelo vs. Lara Episode 2 on Wednesday, July 9 on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT), the event’s final press conference on Thursday, July 10 (live at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT) and the Official Weigh-In on Friday, July 11 (live at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT). Both the press conference and weigh-in will be streamed live via SHO.com/Sports with the weigh-in also being televised live on CBS Sports Network.
 
Fight Day coverage begins with a SHOWTIME EXTREME roadblock-five continuous hours of programming beginning at 10 a.m. ET/PT. 
 
Kameda (29-0, 18 KOs), of Tokyo, Japan, will make his second title defense against  Sor Singyu (46-2, 31 KOs), of Bangkok, Thailand.  Sor Singyu formerly held the same championship belt until losing it to Paulus Ambunda in March 2013.  Ambunda lost his belt to Kameda last August in a unanimous decision in the Philippines. 
 
Kameda, who turns 23 on the night of the fight, will face his most experienced opposition yet in Sor Singyu, 26, who has produced three wins in a row since losing the WBO title.  Both fighters will be making their U.S. debuts.
 
Kameda and his two brothers, Koki, 27, and Daiki, 25, are among the most famous boxers in the history of Japanese boxing as all three recently held world titles at the same time.  While Tomoki held the WBO Bantamweight Championship, Koki was the WBA Bantamweight Champion until he voluntarily relinquished the title in December in order to move down to flyweight, and Daiki was the IBF Junior Bantamweight Champion until he lost by decision last December.
