Whatever you had planned for the second weekend in July, book it off now.
We shared an outstanding weekend of sport back in October, and now we have another humdinger for you… actually, this one trumps all.
Make sure that on Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and 10, you plonk yourself in front of a TV or some sort of visual device.
Why? Because the Euro 2016 final, UFC 200, the Wimbledon finals, a huge boxing rematch, the Munster hurling final, the Connacht football final and the British Grand Prix are all taking place.
Yeah, ridiculous.
Saturday, July 9
The ladies’ Wimbledon final
The biggest tennis weekend of the year kicks-off with the ladies’ singles final at Wimbledon.
Tyson Fury v Wladimir Klitschko
The World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line in Manchester on July 9, as the controversial Tyson Fury defends his belt in a rematch with Wladimir Klitscho.
It’s sure to be intense after last year’s surprise result.

UFC 200: Conor McGregor v Nate Diaz
Another huge rematch takes place just hours later, as Conor McGregor gets a second bite at the Nate Diaz-shaped cherry, after coming up short at UFC 196.
With Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar also contesting a title fight, UFC 200 is going to be mighty.
Sunday, July 10
The British Grand Prix
One of the major Formula One events of the year will be concluding on the Sunday, in what is sure to be a very competitive race.

The Munster hurling and Connacht football finals
With Tipperary and Mayo winning the respective championships last year, it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top this time around.
Wimbledon men’s final
Novak Djokovic more or less dominates men’s tennis these days, but if Andy Murray manages to repeat his heroics of 2013 and upset the Serbian superstar, then 2016’s Wimbledon is sure to be exciting.
Euro 2016 final
… where Ireland will easily beat whoever is unfortunate enough to come up against Martin O’Neill’s men.
Yeah, it’s going to be cracking.
