Artur Beterbiev is set to clash with Dmitry Bivol this weekend in one of the most eagerly awaited boxing matches, and the undercard promises to be just as electrifying.
The bout will take place in Saudi Arabia, with both fighters vying to become boxing’s undisputed light-heavyweight champion after a previous postponement due to injury.
While the main event is generating buzz, the preliminary matches are stacked with action, featuring four title fights and a thrilling rematch.
The undercard will be headlined by an IBF cruiserweight title clash between undefeated champion Jai Opetaia and challenger Jack Massey. Opetaia had hoped for a unification bout against Chris Billiam-Smith, but with that offer declined, he now faces Massey, who comes off a victory against Isaac Chamberlain in June.
Additionally, fans can look forward to a highly anticipated rematch between British heavyweights Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke. Their first encounter ended in a dramatic split draw, leaving Wardley to retain his titles but both fighters eager to prove themselves superior in this decisive rematch.
Chris Eubank Jr. will also make his comeback on this action-packed card after over a year away from the ring. Following his victory over Liam Smith in September 2023, Eubank Jr. is primed to take on Kamil Szeremeta for the world IBO middleweight title.
Other exciting matchups include Skye Nicolson defending her WBC featherweight title, the dynamic Ben Whittaker squaring off against Liam Cameron, and Mohammed Alakel going head-to-head with Jesus Gonzalez. Opetaia aims to maintain his unbeaten streak as he defends his title against Massey, adding to the thrilling lineup.
