    Seems like the Saudis want to do this card!

    Wonder who they will match up against each other?

    At this point they could get Eddie vs Frank if they wanted.

    It won’t be long before there’s no need for Eddie and Frank…and no need for the alphabelts either…

    Yeah Eddie and Frank better be wary of becoming null and void

    Can’t really think of any big potential match ups outside of Joshua v Fury and I think Usyk beats Fury anyway.

    Plenty of domestic stuff but doubt the Saudi’s would be interested.

    I've been wondering this for a while. Seems like the next logical step for them.

    It's a pity Hearn hasn't got any decent heavyweights besides Joshua.
    Frank has Fury, Dubois, Joyce and Zhang

    Wow, could you imagine..

    I'm usually totally against oil money in sports. But if the Saudis effectively bought out all the alphabets and brought boxing under one roof and did something similar to the UFC..

    I see they are planning a 5 vs 5 between Hearn and warren. I’d like to see these but doubt it happens…

    Leigh wood vs Nick Ball
    Joshua buatsi vs Antony yarde
    Johnny fisher vs Adeleye
    Dubois vs whyte
    Aj vs Fury

    They did practically at the presser. They had a belt called the undisputed championship. Fury vs Usyk winner and AJ vs Ngannou winner will fight for it. Guessing that means Hrgovic might go on a back burner or fight Parker vs Zhang winner for alphabets.


    If I was Saudi I would buy The Ring belt and put money into making that the premier belt.
