Canadian boxing fans can watch all the $50-million WBSS action live, including this afternoon's "Briedis vs. Perez" card, exclusively on Super Channel, which acquired the rights in Canada to broadcast the World Boxing Super Series from MP & Silva, a leading international media company that provides media rights, digital, technology and sponsorship services.

The "Briedis vs. Perez" winner will advance to the WBSS semifinals to face the No. 1 seed, undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) cruiserweight champion Oleksandr "The Cat" Usyk (13-0, 11 KOs), who knocked out former world champion Marco Huck in the 10th round of their WBSS quarterfinals fight earlier this month in Berlin.   

"It is a great honor for me and for Latvia to have such a big fight and tournament in our country," Briedis said. "I am looking forward to showing that Latvia is not only a country with singers and dancers, but also some world-class boxing. There is some pressure on my shoulders, fighting in front of a sold-out arena, but I am sure I can handle it."

"I am ready to fight," Perez commented. "I can't wait! It will definitely be a good fight."
