Saunders is defending his title for the third time but for the first time on foreign soil, having previously boxed in Manchester, Paisley and London.
He is fighting Lemieux in the Candian’s hometown of Montreal, where he does have memories of defeats, having lost back-to-back fights in 2011.
However, since then his only defeat came against the legendary Gennady Golovkin and he has racked up four more wins since losing to the Kazakh middleweight.
Saunders meanwhile is unbeaten and gunning for a shot at Golovkin, although he has been ordered to face Canelo Alvarez again after they drew in September.
So here’s how UK fans can make sure they don’t miss out on Saunders’ defence on the other side of the Atlantic.

Coverage on BT Sport 2 will start at 2am and run through until 5.30am.
