The Neutral Corner

HBO sent out a release today announcing the return of 24/7 for the Calzaghe-Jones fight. The series returns next month and will lead up to their light heavyweight pay-per-view showdown on Nov. 8. The first episode of the three-episode, all-access series debuts Sunday, Oct. 26 (8:30-9:00 p.m. ET/PT), on HBO, with another episode debuting the following Sunday, Nov. 2; the first two episodes have an encore play at 11:30 p.m. later that same evening. The finale debuts Thursday, Nov. 6 (11:00-11:30 p.m.), two days prior to the bout.

"We are looking forward to presenting the remarkable contrasts of these two dynamic characters," HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said in the release. "We will again take viewers behind the scenes as Joe and Roy prepare for this important fight. '24/7' is now a valuable franchise of HBO Sports."
