How to watch Jono Carroll and Rohan Date fight in Dubai
Jono Carroll and Waterford welter Rohan Date provide Irish interest on Saturday’s Probellum boxing card in Dubai.
‘King Kong’ Carroll [20(5)-2(0)-1] fights Brazilian Aelio Mesquita [10(8)-5(4)-1] over eight rounds on a bill that plays host to Rohan Date’s first fight since March of 2020. Dubai based Date [12(9)-0-1] fights Kelvin Dotel [14(7)-5] in what looks like a very exciting match up at the Coca Cola Arena.
Probellum confirmed this week the card will be broadcast in the UK and Ireland on Freesports.
The full event will be available from 4pm GMT on Premier Sports 2 and BoxNation while FreeSports will join the coverage at 5.30pm GMT for the main events.
No running order is available as of yet.

Both events feature popular British boxers we’re confident will be a big hit for our viewers and we’re looking forward to the coverage.”
