Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol’s rematch next weekend has the potential to be one of the greatest cards ever.
Of course, those two are the star attractions, but the rest of the undercard features some incredible fights for a potentially unforgettable evening of boxing.
In total, there are three world title fights and three other interim title bouts.
And there are some huge names involved as well.
Beterbiev vs Bivol 2: Undercard
Pretty much every fight on this card is massive, but the biggest is the heavyweight contest between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker.
Dubois is defending his IBF belt after dismantling Anthony Joshua in late 2024.
Parker is also a former world champion and has recorded some excellent wins over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang in recent years.
The winner of this one is likely to face Oleksandr Usyk for a shot at becoming an undisputed champion.
The Ukrainian legend has already said he will take on the winner of this contest, meaning it’s a huge night for both men.
That fight could easily top the bill, and the next one between Shakur Stevenson and Floyd Schofield also falls into that category.
Stevenson is a masterful fighter and has held world titles in three different divisions, and he will look to retain his WBC Lightweight belt here.
The 27-year-old is unbeaten and is one of the biggest names in American boxing.
His opponent is also from the USA and is just 22, but he boasts an 18-0 record.
So, someone is going to be walking away with a belt and a load of glory, and for the other, it will be disappointment.
Before that, we have Hamzah Sheeraz looking to become a world champion for the first time.
The London-born middleweight has shot up the rankings with 21 straight wins.
But his opponent, Carlos Adames, is no pushover.
The 30-year-old has held this title since May 2024, and he has won his last six, losing only once in his career.
We will also see the return of the giant Zhang.
The Chinese fighter is popular among boxing fans, and he will be taking on Agit Kabayel.
Zhang is now 41, but he still tries to take on as many fights as possible, and he is looking to build on his brilliant win over Wilder.
British light-heavyweight Joshua Buatsi will step into the ring on the night too.
The Londoner is eyeing a world title shot, but he must first get past Callum Smith.
Smith is an experienced competitor who has 30 wins to his name and has only lost twice, including to Beterbiev.
Another of the early bouts on the undercard will be Vergil Ortiz Jr versus Israil Madrimov.
Ortiz Jr has a 22-0 record at the age of 26, so he has been extremely active in his career, and he will be looking to see off Madrimov.
The 29-year-old only has one loss on his record, and that was against the incredible Terrence Crawford last year.
