In the previously announced headline bout, unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk will face former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven.
On Friday, Turki Alalshikh, chairperson of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority and co-founder of Zuffa Boxing, and The Ring Magazine revealed the other match-ups at the event, which is supported by Matchroom Boxing and will stream live, worldwide on DAZN.
Hamzah Sheeraz (22-0-1) and Alem Begic (29-0-1) lead the undercard in a clash of unbeaten fighters competing for the vacant World Boxing Organization Super Middleweight title. The bout marks Sheeraz’s return to the ring for the first time since his fifth-round knockout of Edgar Berlanga in New York last July.
