Rival promoters Hearn and Warren face off tonight in Saudi Arabia on a fight card that also features Dmitry Bivol, Deontay Wilder and Daniel Dubois.
Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren will settle their rivalry by pitting five of their best fighters against each other.
The two promoters hadn't spoken to each other for 15 years, but Saudi Arabia's boxing chief Turki Alalsif brought the two together last year, and they will meet tonight in a fascinating bout in Riyadh. The event was supposed to be headlined by a light heavyweight world title bout between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, but Beterbiev pulled out due to injury.
Bivol remains on the card but is not taking part in the 5-on-5 tournament. Two heavyweight bouts, with Deontay Wilder taking on Jiray Zhang and Daniel Dubois taking on Filip Hrgovic, are the main attractions. Here's everything you need to know about tonight's bouts…

Quotation Corner
Dmitry Bivol: “Life is moving so fast right now because of so many things. To be successful, you need to change quickly. When the situation changes, it changes. We need to change quickly and focus on new goals. I don't want to talk about an absolute fight, because in two days I'm fighting a good boxer who is hungry and has never lost. I have to become a better version of Dmitry Bivol.”
Mark Ginard“I'm willing to fight anyone. June 1 will surprise everyone. When they called me, I told my management to send me the contract. No problem. I'm a fighter. This is what I was born to do. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I've always been waiting for this moment and I'm ready for this fight. Expect something big.”
