    The card starts at 8 pm UK time according to DAZN, so does that mean the show will be broadcast for 9 hours? The fight should be prime time wherever it is taking place, whether it is 10pm in Saudi Arabia or 10pm in the US. It's ridiculous that they'll be fighting in the middle of the night in the country they are in.

    I really hope it isn't the case; Scull-Canelo was in the middle of the night at Saudi time, and the atmosphere was dire (somehow even worse than your standard Saudi fight.

    Yeah, it's ambitious, and I can't fault the Saudis for their boxing vision, but the length of the cards has been a problem in the past. The Last Crescendo card was still the best card I've seen, but I sat there for 7 hours watching it, and I was completely zapped by the time Bivol fought Beterbiev. There are limitations; these cards can't go on for 9/10 hours, it's totally unfeasible.

    I have no idea, all I do know, is that the DAZN Prelims Stream on YT, is set to go live at 5pm tomorrow. Which would make it Midnight Sunday in Riyadh.

    9 hours ago — Ring-walk time for the main event is set to be 2:04am GMT. The main card is expected to get underway at roughly 11:06pm UK time.

    Not surprised with the outcome but was rather quite surprised to see Yarde on the backfoot so much all fight.
