Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions seem set for a 5 vs 5 card of fights in Saudi Arabia this yr.
The thought has been bounced round for a bit now, and now either side are publicly saying they’re in.
No fights have been introduced, nor has a date, however the graphics the perimeters have put out do embody Saudi and Riyadh Season logos, which is smart, Saudi Arabia is unquestionably the perfect place for, fairly probably, principally British fighters to face one another.
Something official on the cardboard might wait till among the larger names on either side have upcoming fights play out. For example, Eddie Hearn has urged a Nick Ball vs Raymond Ford battle, and each of them have world title fights set for the time being, Ball going through Rey Vargas on Feb. 17 and Ford going through Otabek Kholmatov on Feb. 16.
In the event that they each win, clearly they might be proper on schedule for an instantaneous unification, which might be a very good battle. And in the event that they each lose, they might be proper on schedule to face each other anyway.
Callum Smith vs Anthony Yarde is one other battle Hearn has urged.
All of this must truly come collectively, nevertheless it’s a enjoyable concept on the very least.
What fights would you need to see?
