- The Main event will see the biggest fight in boxing -
WBC and Lineal Champion Tyson 'The Gypsy King' Fury vs
WBO/IBF/WBA unified champion Oleksandr
Usyk in a history-making showdown. The winner will

in 1999, but this time four belts are on the line for the first
time in history.

take on three-time cruiserweight world

Joe Cordina will defend his IBF world super
featherweight championship against IBO title holder, Northern
Irishman Anthony Cacare.

Agit Kabayel faces unbeaten Cuban Frank Sanchez as both return to Riyadh following their knockout victories on
the 'Day of Reckoning' card in December in a WBC Final
Eliminator.
- Formidable young heavyweight star
Moses Itauma, the World Amateur champion, who is tipped
to become the future face of boxing's marquee division, takes
on Ilja Mezencev in his ninth fight in the
professional ranks at the age of just 19.
- Big punching 25-year-old UK lightweight sensation
Mark Chamberlain will face
the dangerous Nigerian Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab.
- Sergey Kovalev – the former
long-standing light heavyweight world champion - will go up against
the undefeated Robin Sirwan Safar at
cruiserweight.
