Zhang Zhilei vs. Deontay Wilder (heavyweight)

The main event will be a power-packed bout with both fighters coming off losses. Joseph Parker He is attempting one last big performance and a shot at the gold medal. “The Bronze Bomber” put in an extraordinary performance against Parker, but “The Big Bang” was unable to finish the bout, despite knocking Parker down in the third round. The 39-year-old Wilder has made it clear that he intends to hang up his gloves if he is unable to secure another win against Chan. Will we see the great boxer of our time retire in defeat? It remains to be seen.

Daniel Dubois vs. Filip Hrgovic (heavyweight)

The co-main event brings with it old tensions, intense rivalries and great opportunities. The two sparred against each other a few years ago, and rumors of the 31-year-old Hrgovic beating the 26-year-old Dubois were hot topics. Those rumors continue to circulate. What's more, the winner of this bout will likely become the next IBF heavyweight champion, as the IBF governing body is considering stripping Usyk of his title. And the winner will also be booked for a blockbuster bout against “AJ” at Wembley Stadium in September. It wouldn't be surprising if a future heavyweight star was born in this bout.

It'll be up to the 25-year-old Queensberry captain to bring a win to his promotion and defend his unbeaten record against Williams. This will be a test for him as this is his first time facing a world-class opponent, while Williams, who is 16-0, will also have to defend her own unbeaten record. But both fighters have fan-friendly styles and a knack for knockouts, so this bout will be full of carnage and violence. Either way, the winner will likely move up the ranks and get an immediate title shot.
