The boxing world was left divided after Artur Beterbiev edged out Dmitry Bivol in a razor-close decision that took place in Riyadh. The judges scored it 114-114, 115-113, and 116-112, giving Beterbiev the victory. However, many, including Bivol’s promoter Eddie Hearn, were outraged, with Hearn calling one judge’s score “absolutely disgusting” and demanding that the judge never work again.

In the undercard, Fabio Wardley delivered a devastating first-round knockout against Frazer Clarke, retaining his British heavyweight title. Clarke was brutally floored with a single punch, leaving him slumped in the corner as medical professionals attended to him.

Meanwhile, Ben Whittaker suffered a shocking injury after both he and Liam Cameron tumbled over the top rope during their light heavyweight bout. Whittaker was wheeled out of the arena in a wheelchair, and the fight was ruled a technical split decision draw.

The night also saw Chris Eubank Jr. return to the ring with a stoppage victory over Kamil Szeremeta, which led to a heated confrontation with his rival, Conor Benn.

Saudi Royal Adviser Turki Alalshikh and Eddie Hearn have both called for a rematch, echoing the sentiments of many fans who believe Bivol was robbed of the victory.
