A pair of heavyweight showdowns will generate plenty of interest on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is set to host yet another big boxing event on Saturday with a card headlined between heavy-handed heavyweights Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang. The card was originally slated to be main evented by Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmiry Bivol for the undisputed light heavyweight championship before an injury forced a shake-up.
For fans of heavyweight action, there's another bout featuring big men as Filip Hrgovic takes on Daniel Dubois. The two heavyweight bouts are of more importance than ever in the wake of Oleksandr Usyk becoming the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era and a renewed interest in boxing's glamour division.
There are plenty of other notable fights on the card, which is themed around a "5 vs. 5" showdown between Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions fighters, and with any big card comes a host of compelling storylines.
