EPIX Channel To Offer World Boxing Heavyweight Championship on March 19

EPIX channel and EpixHD.com will present heavyweight championship boxing when WB Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko defends the coveted crown against #1 ranked challenger Odlanier Solis on Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 6:00 PM ET and also a replay at 10:00 pm ET.

Klitschko vs. Solis will originate from the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany, which sold out in minutes after tickets went on sale in January. Klitschko, who sports a record of 41 wins and 2 losses, with 38 wins coming by way of knockout, will be making the eighth defense of his crown, and his seventh since 2008 when he ended a four year hiatus from the ring.

Along with his young sibling, Wladimir, the Klitschko brothers are world renowned as being the premiere forces in the heavyweight division.

Klitschko vs. Solis marks the first boxing event televised on EPIX, and the first time a Klitschko bout has aired live on American television since 2009. Launched in October 2009, EPIX continues to expand its original programming, adding to a formidable list of music, comedy, and sports talent and garnering an Emmy nomination in its first year.

EPIX President and CEO Mark Greenberg said "We are pleased to bring this exciting heavyweight championship to American boxing fans on television and online."
