Hey June! On Saturday…the first day of the month, a mega lineup of magnificent talent in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the 5 vs 5 mega card, a tournament between the fighters of the two giant VIP-UK promoters.
A brainwave of General Entertainment Authority Leader and Royal Advisor to the Court of Saudi Arabia, Turki Alalshikh, who has become the main promoter of massive boxing nights there, with top-level productions, and this will be another pearl.
With 5 weight divisions carefully chosen, Frank Warren, owner of Queensberry, chose 5 fighters and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom matched this. It will exactingly test the mettle of the two main promoters in the United Kingdom, whose keen edged rivalry, eliciting a smile dates back a while!
“It’s the first time I saw fear in Frank Warren’s eyes. I think he realized that he’s 4 days away from losing, from the moment he thought it would be Queensberry night, but he knows deep down that when he sees this card, when he sees Craig Richards, Ammo Williams, Raymond Ford, See the size of Filip Hrgovic, and the determination of Deontay Wilder, he realized that this is not going to end well for him. This is like nothing he’s ever seen, I’ve never been so excited for an event. “It will be a special night in Riyadh on Saturday,” quipped Eddie Hearn.
“They are finished. We are ready to do it, my 5 are in great shape, excited about this, there is a lot of rivalry involved, and we agree on many things, like that they will be great 50/50 fights. No one can afford to lose. These will be the biggest fights of their careers, all of them. If they win, they will go for something bigger, if they lose, they will fall down a step. It will be something special. We want to win all 5, we choose 5 fighters who we believe can win all 5 fights,” stated Frank Warren.
Zhilei Zhang vs Deontay Wilder will be the main fight of this card:
The clash of heavyweight giants, with the Chinese Zhang and the American Wilder, will be the main fight of the evening, which is expected to close with a spectacular knockout.
“I am the man with the big right hand, with the big bomb. Nobody has the mentality, the spirit of a warrior, the heart of a warrior, the killer instinct like me, especially when I’m on, when I’m on, I’m the most dangerous man in the world. They want the wildness of the ‘Bronze Bomber’, I said that I will no longer be Mr. Good People. They want to see action, and I owe them that, I didn’t give it to them last time, but now, no more, good people. This is a fight where someone is going to get knocked out, it’s not a 12 round fight, when people come to see the big guys, they want to see knockouts, and unfortunately it’s between me and him, and someone is going to come out with their lights “off,” declared Deontay Wilder.
“Every camp is a great camp, but this time I learned a lot, so I will be more dangerous. Yes, he (Wilder) is back, back to get the ‘BANG’ (Zhang’s hit and nickname). When a Bomber meets a ‘Bang’, they know what is going to happen,” confidently commented Zhilei Zhang.
