Prominent boxing promoters Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing have officially signed a deal for a unique 'Five vs. Five' fight card event to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the Riyadh Calendar. This event, supported by Turki Alalshikh, will feature five boxers from each promotional stable competing against each other, with the details, including the fighters and the date, to be announced during the fight week of Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou in early March. The agreement has sparked excitement within the boxing community, as it represents a rare collaboration between two rival promotional companies. The event was initially proposed by His Excellence just two days prior to the official signing, demonstrating the swift negotiation process influenced by Saudi interests in the sport. Frank Warren has also suggested a potential 1 million bet against Eddie Hearn as part of the rivalry, adding another layer of anticipation to the upcoming event.
