Sky Sports Box Office have won exclusive live rights to show Floyd Mayweather Jr taking on Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2.
Dubbed 'the fight of the century', the two men will go face to face in a welterweight world championship unification clash at the MGM Garden Arena.
Mayweather Jr has won all 47 of his professional bouts, while Pacquiao has lost just twice in 64 fights.
"This fight has everything and is set to be one of the biggest sports events of the year. As the home of boxing in the UK and Republic of Ireland, we're thrilled to be awarded the rights," Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said.
"We'll provide Sky Sports viewers with the best possible build-up across our channels and outlets and the best coverage of the fight itself from our team in Las Vegas."
Recent reports suggested that the cheapest ticket to see the fight would cost around £1,000.
