In recent times, the world of boxing has been buzzing with excitement as we witness some of the most stacked fight cards in history. Thanks to the influx of Saudi money, fans have been treated to epic battles on a regular basis. And the best part is, this trend shows no signs of slowing down. As fight fans, we can look forward to even more value for our money, the fighters are getting the big money fights they deserve, and the sport as a whole is reaping the benefits.
One of the most highly anticipated events is the massive card scheduled for August 3 in Los Angeles. However, the excitement doesn’t stop there. Rumors are swirling about a potential blockbuster card at Wembley on September 21. Eddie Hearn himself teased fans with the promise of something spectacular at the upcoming press conference on June 26. If all goes according to plan, this could potentially be the best fight card the country has ever seen.
While the official lineup is yet to be announced, speculation is rampant about the potential matchups that could grace the Wembley card. Some of the rumored fights include Anthony Joshua facing off against either Daniel Dubois, Joseph Parker, or Zhilei Zhang. Other exciting matchups on the cards include Fabio Wardley vs. Frazer Clarke in a rematch, Naoya Inoue vs. Murodjon Akhmadaliev, Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Chris Eubank Junior, Josh Kelly vs. Liam Smith, and Willy Hutchinson vs. Joshua Buatsi. If these fights come to fruition, it promises to be an unforgettable night for fight fans.
The rise of the Saudi money men, spearheaded by Turki Alalshikh, has revolutionized the sport of boxing. Their willingness to invest in high-profile fights has taken the sport to new heights. With talks of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund considering the creation of a boxing league involving top promoters, the future looks brighter than ever for boxing fans. The prospect of all the top promoters working together under one unified umbrella could reshape the landscape of the sport in a positive way.
