The big one, Joshua vs Ngannou, starts around 11.20pm UK time.

Eddie Hearn does what he does best: talk.

You heard the man. Finish the job, sit down and watch this fight.

He also promotes the undercard, which features some exciting fights, as I mentioned earlier.

‘An incredible evening of boxing.’

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the Chairman of the General Authority for Entertainment of Saudi Arabia, hosted the meeting and was front and center in the photo that got the sports world talking.

The Saudi official is already planning the next fight, with the winner of tonight’s main event set to face the winner of Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk later this year.

However, it wasn’t friendly for too long. Ngannou kicked off… and gave Fury a good blow, to be honest.

Obviously, this fight has been quite the build-up, and it wouldn’t be Saudi Arabia without a celebrity or two.

The three heavyweights who have been the talk of the week gathered earlier this week for a pre-fight meeting, shall we say, and none other than Saudi poster boy Cristiano Ronaldo was there too.

A very iconic photo actually, right? Click below to find out exactly why they met.

I mentioned the undercard earlier and it features 10 fights, although there was a risk it could have only been 10.

Kevin Lerena will face Justis Huni in the fifth fight of the evening, in a 10-round heavyweight bout.

However, yesterday news broke that the South African’s mother had died.

He revealed the news that he plans to continue fighting on Instagram, stating that he will do so in her honor and carry her strength with him.

Ultimately, tonight comes down to two brutal heavyweights battling it out for a shot at the undisputed heavyweight title.

We put together a story about the tape with details about the two fighters leading up to the fight. Height, record, wealth… it’s all there.

Naturally, the eyes of the boxing world are on tonight’s money-losing fight in Riyadh, some eyes possibly closer than the fighters would like (cough, Tyson Fury, cough).

We’ve put together a piece detailing how some of the sport’s biggest starts think tonight will go.

The general feeling is that someone is getting a knockout. But who divides the pack?
