Derek Chisora vs Otto Wallin
Well over the years Delboy (48 Fights - 35 Wins (23 KOs) - 13 Losses) has given us some memorable fights and i genuinely love the fella but i think his career has dragged on for too long now if im being honest , i said it for a while now that id like to see him retire happy and healthy and that still stands .. He beat Joe Joyce last time which in all honesty most people didnt expect but fair play to him , however that Joe Joyce is miles off the Joyce before the Zhang stoppages so that maybe diminishes the win a little as Joyce seems to be on the wain for me (although hes another fighter i like) , but as i say he did what he had to do and came through it and here we are. Wallin (30 Fights - 27 Wins (15 KOs) - 2 Losses - 1 No Contest) is best known for his two losses here in Britain in all fairness , the first one where he lost to Tyson Fury back in 2019 where quite a few people had him down as winning and then being stopped by Anthony Joshua back in 2023 in the fifth round .. This is supposed to be Chisoras penultimate fight and i have to say im kinda surprised by the choice of opponent if im being honest , i was expecting an opponent like Joyce who is more known as a banger so it'd be more of a slug fest but although Wallin does possess some power he is more known for his boxing skills if we're being honest. Back in the day i'd have Chisora to win all day long but nowadays im not so sure , this is a winnable fight for Chisora i have to say and if he catches him clean theres a fair chance its lights out time but Wallins' only been stopped the once and that was by AJ , since then hes stopped Nigerian Onoriode Ehwarieme in the first round , who i really dont know alot about tbh , looking through his record hes faced some decent opposition but everytime he has stepped up hes lost so how worthwhile that win is im not to sure , probably more of a confidence booster after the Joshua loss id say but he wont find Chisora so easy to stop id say. Back to the fight i would dearly love to see Chisora win i really would but i just cant see it , like i say theres always the possibilty that he could catch Wallin clean but i think the best way to go would be a Wallin win.

Willy Hutchinson was due to face Zach Parker on the Chisora undercard but Hutchinson has pulled out due to dislocating and tearing his left shoulder during sparring .. shame was looking forward to that one , apparently they're trying to find a replacement to face Parker

Friday 14th February - Denys Berinchyk vs Keyshawn Davis
Interesting match up this one with Ukranian Berinchyk (19 Fights - 19 Wins (9 KOs)) making the first defence of his WBO Lightweight Title , that he won in his last fight when beating Emanuel Navarette by split decision. Challenger Davis (13 Fights - 12 Wins (8 KOs) - 1 No Contest) also un beaten so someones '0' has gotta go ! , Davis is 11 years younger than Berinchyk who is now 36 years old and knocked out Gustavo Daniel Lemos last time in the second round , that was quite a feat tbh as that was the first time he'd been stopped in his career and in his previous fight , despite losing , he'd given Richardson Hitchens all sort of problems so that win looks quite good and the fact he stopped him even better. Berinchyk has a solid amateur pedigree which has served him well in the pro ranks but i think theres a good chance that hes gonna need all of that and more when he faces Davis , who was an Olympic Silver medallist himself , here as the American is an exciting looking fighter / prospect and as long as he doesnt make any stupid mistakes i think hes gonna take this and gain his first world title but its gonna be hard fought i think. Berinchyk is good with his footwork and his angles and hes illusive and hard to hit but i think Davis , after a few rounds works him out and starts to break him down , he has some serious power but Berinchyk , as with most of the Eastern European fighters , seems to be tough as teak so im not confident of a knockout finish although it wouldnt come as a major shock if it happened (maybe a TKO) but i do see Davis coming out as the winner , probably by decision.
Keyshawn Davis To Win
Jared Anderson vs Marios Kollias
Well this will be the first time we've seen since Martin Bakole seriously de railed the Jared Anderson (18 Fights - 17 Wins (15 KOs) - 1 Loss) hype train with that fifth round stoppage back in August of last year. His opponent is Greek (fighting out of Sweden) Marios Kollias (16 Fights - 12 Wins (10 KOs) - 3 Losses - 1 Draw) , won his last one against basically a journeyman and looking through his record hes faced no one of any note at all from what i can see and the fact hes 33 and been a pro since 2014 and mustered only 16 fights doesnt really speak volumes either if im being honest , this is basically a nice re introduction to Anderson to ease him back him in and he should have far too much for Kollias here , if that drubbing by Bakole hasnt had an effect on him. He should certainly be stopping this calibre of opposition and that what i fully expect him to do , as if he cant then theres certainly a problem that needs fixing as far as im concerned. Obviously this is a heavyweight bout and as such one punch is all it takes , but i really cant see an upset here and if there is one then for me Anderson is done , i think its gonna be a stoppage win for Anderson in this one to try and get him back on track.

Saturday 15th February - Jack Catterall vs Arnold Barboza Jr
Looks to be a decent match up this one , although on the other hand it has the potential to be a bit of a snooze fest as both tend to box of the back foot which doesnt usually lend itself to entertaining fights tbh. Jack Catterall (31 Fights - 30 Wins (13 KOs) - 1 Loss) arrives on the back of a unanimous decision over Regis Prograis , a good display that and he had Prograis down twice during the fight and took home the vacant WBO International Light Welterwight Title in the process , before that he gained revenge on Josh Taylor who had handed him his sole career loss to date although lets be honest that was a joke of a decision and a fight that Catterall should never of lost .. Barboza Jr (31 Fights - 31 Wins (11 KOs)) beat Jose Ramirez last time by UD , but before that he won on the cards against Sean McComb by split decision , but in all honesty i think McComb outboxed him from start to finish basically but thats boxing (and judging !) so here we are , these pair meeting for the WBO Super Lightweight Title eliminator .. Prograis is a quality boxer and Catterall outclassed him and i see pretty much the same outcome here , i personally think Catterall is one of the best boxers in Britain at the moment and defensively is definatley one of the best , i dont think Barboza Jr has enough in the locker to beat Catterall imho and i certainly cant see him stopping him , so i think this one goes to Catterall by decision.

Saturday 22nd February -
Shakur Stevenson vs Floyd Schofield
Unbeaten Shakur Stevenson (22 Fights - 22 Wins (10 KOs)) puts his WBC Lightweight belt on the line when he faces , the also unbeaten Floyd Scholfield (18 Fights - 18 Wins (12 KOs)) in what should be a decent fight. Stevenson hasnt been seen since beating Artem Harutyunyan by unanimous decision back in April of last year , whilst Scholfield was last seen in November of 2024 beating Rene Telle Giron by UD. Stevenson does get alot of flak because of his style , in the fact that its not exciting , he back pedals etc .. but theres no doubting that hes a very skilful and slick operator , id agree that its not perhaps as fan friendly as some other fighters out there but he does what he does to win and tbh you cant really fault him for that , if he has the skill then use it , although in all fairness he was more offensive in his last fight. Schofield is a switch hitter and a solid counter puncher , can be defensive minded early doors but if he spots an opportunity he will try to capitalise on it. He does have a tendency to get a little impatient , which was evident in his last fight when he kinda threw the game plan out of the window and decided to go toe to toe with Giron and promptly got dropped .. he cant afford to do that against some one of Stevensons calibre. For me Stevenson is levels above Scholfield at this stage , has been up against the better opposition and i think that will be the telling factor , Schofield is only 22 and hes a decent prospect and im sure that he'll be looking to take advantage of this opportunity to propel him into the limelight but i feel that it might be a bit soon , i think he can cause problems for Stevenson but Stevenson is usually calm and collected in the ring , doesnt let things get to him and adjusts appropriately and i see him winning this by decision , although with all the recent criticism of his fighting style he could well try and get Schofield out of there but id be more tempted by a win by UD.
Shakur Stevenson To Win ... By Decision
Joshua Buatsi vs Callum Smith
Interesting and intriguing domestic match up this one , as for me its pretty much a must win for both fighters. The unbeaten Buatsi (19 Fights - 19 Wins (13 KOs)) comes into this on the back of a solid win over Willy Hutchinson by SD , winning the WBO Interim Light heavyweight title in the process. Before that he beat long time domestic rival Dan Azeez in a much anticipated fight by unanimous decision. Buatsi is definatley a decent fighter but his career to date is under whelming id say given his talent and what was expected form him , so for me he has to win this one if he wants to remain relevant to be honest. And the same goes for Smith (32 Fights - 30 Wins 22 KOs) - 2 Losses) imho , a capable operator on his day but when hes stepped up to elite level opposition hes lost both times (Canelo and Beterbiev) and though he had two fights last year , Beterbiev (who stopped him in the seventh round) and then in November he beat Carlos Galvan by fifth round TKO , he hasnt really been keeping himself busy averaging pretty much a fight a year .. At this stage of both their careers id say that Buatsi's in on the up and Smiths seems to be on the decline , hes been in some proper wars over the years and im sure they've taken their toll. Smith does have his size on his side , has a height and reach advantage but he to make sure to use them to the max , the one thing he does have is his power , he does have the stopping power that can alter a fight , but its if he can catch Buatsi clean as hes pretty solid defensively speaking and for me hes the better boxer , he does possess power of his own but whether its enough to stop Smith i dont know. This is a hard one to call if im being honest , both have the necessary tools to win , i think its gonna boil down to who wants it more and who brings it on the night. Can make a case for both of them but im slightly edging towards Buatsi , hes the younger fighter and i think he'll be wanting to prove himself on this bigger stage. Tight one as i say but i say Buatsi to win.
Joshua Buatsi To Win
Carlos Adames vs Hamzah Sheeraz
Im seriously looking forward to this one , i think this has the potential and hallmarks to be a real banger and a fight not to miss. Adames (25 Fights - 24 Wins (18 KOs) - 1 Loss) makes the first defence of his WBC World Middleweight Title which he won after beating Terrell Gausha by unanimous decision back in June of last year. He had been the interim champion but after the WBC stripped Jermall Charlo of the belt he was elevated to full champion. His only loss to date came at the hands of Brazilian Patrick Teixeira when they fought for the WBO Interim Light Middleweight title back in 2019 , so hasnt tasted defeat in a while / six fights. Sheeraz (21 Fights - 21 Wins (17 KOs)) is the potential star of the division from what ive seen to date , unbeaten so far he was last seen Stopping Tyler Denny in the second round at Wembley in September of last year , that was an eyecatching win over the durable Tyler , before that he beat the well touted American Austin Williams in Riyadh when he stopped him by TKO in the eleventh round. In fact he Sheeraz hasnt gone the distance since winning a 6 rounder all the way back in December 2018 , though in one of those he did stop Guido Pitto in the tenth and final round so maybe better to say he hasnt heard the final bell in any of his fights since then. In all fairness his opposition hasnt been the best really except for his last two (Denny and Williams) , but he can only beat whose in front of him and hes done that in very convincing fashion in all honesty , Adames resume is better with the likes of Guasha , Julian Williams , Sergiy Derevyanchenko , Patrick Teixeira and a few others which puts him above Sheeraz in the level of opposition hes faced but its all about 'now' , and whilst Adames has proven himself at world level Sheeraz has yet to do that tbh , but hes looked good in his fights to date and hes definatley a potential world beater on the evidence we've seen so far but this fight i think will be the acid test , and we'll see how good he really is. Hamzah has a height and reach advantage which will play to his strengths , particularly his punishing jabs which he uses with pinpoint accuracy Thats not to under estimate Adames chances , that would be fatal as hes a decent come forward aggressive fighter who can punch , so Sheeraz is gonna have to be on point as Adames wont be cowed by his reputation or his skillset , Williams bothered Sheeraz in round two of their fight and Adames hits harder than him so as i say he cant let his concentration slip in this one. Is Sheeraz can start well and use his jab effectively then i can see him frustrating Adames and keeping his distance , picking him off .. but if Adames is quick out the gate and starts applying pressure from the off he could force Sheeraz into making a mistake , which he would be quick to capitalise on from what ive seen of him to date. This is a must win really for both fighters , for Sheeraz going forward and cementing his potential in the division and for Adames to stake his claim as well , as this is gonna be stepping stone to meet the current IBF and WBO belt holder Khazak Janibek Alimkhanuly in an atttempt to unify the belts / division , so theres alot on the line in this one. Like i said at the beginning this has all the makings of a great fight , and i think its one that Sheeraz will win , hes the better boxer for me , and i think he will break Adames down over time , can he stop him ? Well , Adames has never been stopped and his whiskers have held up so far but Sheeraz can crack so it'll be interesting to see if he can stand up to Sheeraz' power , the same goes for Sheeraz and Adames' power though , he has to box clever and stay out of range as if Adames can land cleanly theres every chance he can drop Sheeraz. But as it stands i think Sheeraz gets the job done and i can honestly see him pulling off a mid to late round stoppage in this.
Hamzah Sheeraz To Win .. By Stoppage (Round 6 onwards)
Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel
Looking forward to this one gotta say as its an interesting match , and should be a good watch imho. Zhang (30 Fights - 27 Wins (22 KOs) - 2 Losses - 1 Draw) comes into the ring after a dominant display against Deontay Wilder , stopping him in the fifth round after a counter right that left Wilder wondering what was going on he followed up with the knockout punch. That was a solid display i have to say but a tad diminished as , for me , Wilder seems to be running on empty these days and didnt really show anything in the fight lets be honest , but he did what he had to do and here we are. Before that he lost a decision to Joseph Parker , had Parker in trouble a couple of times in that fight and dropped him twice but failed to capitalise and paid the price , the two Joe Joyce wins before that and a very dubious (imo) loss to Hgrovic completes his last five fights and shows hes been in decent form , and can be argued unlucky not to be unbeaten in all of them to be honest. Kabayel (25 Fights - 25 Wins (17 KOs)) was last seen in May of last year giving Frank Sanchez a beatdown and eventually knocking him out in the seventh round , that surprised a few people , me included , before that he again pulled off a surprise when he stopped the unbeaten Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov in the fourth round , those wins firmly put him in the Heavyweight picture and here we are ! As we've seen both are on a good roll at the moment , for me Zhang has faced the better opposition to date and also imho Kabayel has yet to be tested , his chin has held up well thus far but i think this could well be the acid test as the Chinaman certainly possesses plenty of power and it'll come as no shock should he drop Kabayel at least once during the fight , the thing is as we've seen he doesnt always follow those knockdowns up and try to finish the job , as in the Parker fight , if he does drop Kabayel hes gonna have to follow up and try and stop him up , he cant afford to stand back and let him regain his composure. Zhang is now 41 years old , which is definatley a plus for Kabayel in my book who is 32 , and he does have a tendency to gas out from the mid rounds onwards which is another plus for the Kabayel camp so for me Kabayel has to try and stay out of range of Zhang for the first half of the fight and avoid getting chinned whilst Zhang is gonna have to try and stop his man , all makes for an interesting and intriguing fight. Zhang is fairly slow footed but does have quick hands which Kabayel is gonna have to keep an eye on , Kabayel definatley has the work rate over Zhang and he likes to switch from body to head and vice versa , but as hes doing that he could be open to the counter , in which Zhang seems to specialise in. In the negatives for Kabayel is the fact that he sometimes holds his hands low which he really cant do against someone who hits as hard as Zhang , if Zhang catches him cleanly i cant see him getting up so hes gonna have to be very careful and as i say he is gonna have to pay attention as Zhang is a great counter puncher , and is a sneaky southpaw whose adept at snaking out his jab and he has a thunderous right hook. In his previous two fights Kabayel has been more aggressive but i cant see him doing that here as i think it'll be playing to Zhangs strengths , whilst if he utilises his workrate , goes to the body often , and stays out of range until Zhangs stamina gives out , which it will at some stage , i can see him gaining a points win and possibly even stopping Zhang although i wouldnt be at all confident of that one buts its a possibilty. So , after all that , whose gonna win ? Its a 50/50 fight for me , so many questions that wont be answered until the night .. if Zhang cant catch Kabayel early then i see a Kabayel win by decision being more likely , and i just cant make my mind up if im being honest , its a proper pick 'em fight ! But gotta choose one , so im gonna go for the slight underdog in Zhang , i think hes more proven at this level and can end the fight if he lands a big un but as i say it'd come as no huge shock should Kabayel come away with the win.
Zhilei Zhang To Win
Virgil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov
And another great fight for the stacked card in Saudi and yet again its a proper 50/50 , pick em bout and another one that could be a headliner on any other night. Since his return to the ring after a bout of ill health the hard hitting Ortiz (22 Fights - 22 Wins (21 KOs)) has won all three of his fights , stopping his first two opponents in the first round but last time saw him go the distance for the first time in his career against tough Ukranian Serhil Bohachuk .. he was dropped twice in that fight but managed to get the decision , although in all fairness quite a few people had Bohachuck as the winner. Madrimov (12 Fights - 10 Wins - 1 Loss - 1 Draw) also comes into this on the back of his first loss , but that was against one of the worlds P4P best in Terence Crawford so no great shame in that and in all honesty he held up well , and he held his own and i think if he'd let his hands go more then he could of possibly seriously troubled Crawford , but we'll never know , but as it stands he put up a solid performance but lost on the judges cards. Ortiz Jr has a height and reach advantage here , and has a very fan friendly style in that he puts relentless pressure on his opponents with his punch output and is very heavy handed , as is evident from his record , Madrimov is a more skilled fighter for me , has very good footwork and ring IQ , and can control the distance and tempo of the fight well which are all major attributes that he'll have to employ against someone like Ortiz , obviously he'll have to make sure he doesnt get clipped by Ortiz but seeing as hes just given Crawford a serious run for his money i honestly think thats more than doable. Ortiz will keep coming forward and does leave himself open , and can be hurt as was shown in the Bohachuk fight. Should be an entertaining fight but i think Madrimov will prove to be too good for Ortiz in this one and hand him his first loss.
Israil Madrimov To Win
Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker
And yet another great fight on this stacked Saudi card , on any other day this one would probably be the main event , shows you how good this card is tbh. Looking forward to this one , and like the others its a good match up and one id consider a 50/50 fight. Dubois (24 Fights - 22 Wins (21 KOs) - 2 Losses) arrives on the crest of a wave after whats probably his best career win to date , the five round demolition of Anthony Joshua , which in all honesty surprised alot of people especially the manner in which he done it , though that was a solid win i gotta say that , imo , Joshua seemed weird on the ringwalk , hesitant after the initial exchange and i honestly think he under estimated Dubois. Thats not taking anything away from Dubois as it was a good solid win , and that followed the two stoppages of Jarrell Miller and Filip Hgrovic , which were both good wins and handed both those fighters there first stoppages. After the Uysk fight his stock had fallen as once again the 'quitter' name had been bandied about , but i think now (especially the Hgrovic firefight) those names can be dispelled as he showed a lot of gumption in those fights , it also showed that he seemed to have improved / matured from his earlier days. Parker (38 Fights - 35 Wins (23 KOs) - 3 Losses) too is enjoying a bit of a comeback since his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce back in 2022 , hes had five fights and won them all , two by stoppages , the last two were probably the best of those , first he convincingly beat ex world champion Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision - although in all fairness how much can be read into that is up for debate as i think Wilders best days are far behind him (and imho as ive said before he was never that good to start with) , and then he beat Zhilei Zhang , showed determination and grit in that fight , got dropped twice but still done enough to take the decision .. so both are coming into this in good nick and full of confidence which should make for an enjoyable watch , its gonna be interesting to see how it plays out and who comes out on top. Dubois is probably gonna come out strong , and will try to show his dominance and to land something early but Parker is no slouch and knows how to box of the back foot / from distance and hes only been stopped once , and that was by Joe Joyce so his chin isnt bad , theres also the thing that DDDs last three opponents all stood in front of him basically whereas thats not gonna happen with Parker. I think this could well be a fight of two halves , Dubois coming on strong in the first half of the fight and if Parker can weather the storm he begins to come on strong in the latter half of the fight .. and as Dubois is definatley one of the bigger hitters in the division its a big if about Parker weathering the storm , Zhang as mentioned earlier dropped Parker twice but failed to capitalise , thats something thats not gonna happen with Dubois , if he drops him and Parker gets up then Dubois is gonna follow up quickly and try and finish the fight. I think Parker will be too clever for DDD , hes a seasoned fighter , been in with the top tier of fighters over the years , hes clever , and i can see him staying out of range for the first few rounds and then basically using his jab and outboxing Dubois. But at the same time as ive said throughout this write up the big question is can he take the power of Dubois ? .. he has been dropped numerous times in his career but aside from the Joyce fight has always got up and carried on so his recovery powers seems okay , i dunno this is a difficult one , as they all seem to be on this card , but im edging towards Parker by decision if the fight goes the distance , i think Parker is a multilayered fighter whereas Dubois is pretty much one dimensional , he has got that jab but its all about the power with DDD , if Parker can box him rather than get into a slugfest with him then i think he could start to take him into deep waters , Dubois seems to be okay when hes on top but struggles when hes taken out of his comfort zone if im being honest .. this is another one where im not at all confident but im siding with Parker by decision .. although Dubois by stoppage is just as likely.
Joe Parker To Win .. By Decision
Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol
Well , here we are the grand finale of the night and what a fight we've got in prospect ! The first one was a close encounter that could of gone either way but the judges favoured Artur Beterbiev who became the undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion , to me that was the right call but if it had gone the other way i wouldnt of argued , i personally thought Beterbiev done enough but could see how people made the case for a Bivol win. That was Bivols (24 Fights - 23 Wins (13 KOs) - 1 Loss) first taste of defeat and i think he'll be keen to avenge that loss here , but quite how he can do that i'm not sure tbh , he brought his 'A' game in the first fight and im finding it difficult to see how he can improve on that , he was practically foot perfect in the first especially in defence , i have read that he intends to be more aggressive this time around , and whilst thats entirely possible im having a hard job seeing it in reality as thats not his style and if he alters his tactics too much then i can see him coming a cropper against the hard hitting Beterbiev. I think he did well to see the fight through , it was the first time that Beterbiev had gone the distance in the pro ranks , and as long as hes defensively sound again (usually is) theres a chance that could be the case again but he does need to pressure Beterbiev more without dropping his guard. Beterbiev (21 Fights - 21 Wins (20 KOs)) started slowly and gradually came into the fight as it progressed , something he usually does , after the mid way point Beterbiev was going after his opponent whilst Bivol was in defence mode , and when you consider Beterbiev was coming off a serious injury and surgery that was some display in all honesty , and now he's injury free i have to think he'll be even more dangerous and more like his forceful old self. Both are gonna make adjustments , and both will have a better understanding of their opponent and their strengths and weaknesses. Like the first fight this one could go either way and has all the earmarks of another classic , Bivol has do pretty much the same as he did in the first fight but sustain his effort through the later rounds , and pretty much the same for Beterbiev as well although i think this time he will start applying the pressure earlier and this time around i honestly think that he'll be looking for the stoppage and not relying on the judges scorecards. Obviously he has to be careful as Bivol has quick hands and feet and can counter well so he may well leave himself open and he has been dropped before but whether Bivol possesses enough power to stop Beterbiev is an unknown imho. He can bang but hes known more for his boxing skills rather than anything else whereas Beterbiev is more known as a puncher but his boxing IQ and skillset are vastly underestimated ,much more so that Bivols power. Anyways , like the other fights on this card this one is a proper 50/50 where you could make a case for both fighters and most outcomes , but im gonna go with Beterbiev to retain his belts and i think this time round he does the job by stoppage. Im not 100% confident as both of these are elite P4P fighters but i think Beterbiev is gonna make more use of his controlled aggression and i think the volume and power of the punches may well have a telling effect on Bivol if he starts quicker. However saying all that i can see a good case for Bivol coming out on top as well , long as we get a good fight i'll be happy.
Artur Beterbiev To Win .. By Stoppage
Shakur Stevenson vs Floyd Schofield
Unbeaten Shakur Stevenson (22 Fights - 22 Wins (10 KOs)) puts his WBC Lightweight belt on the line when he faces , the also unbeaten Floyd Scholfield (18 Fights - 18 Wins (12 KOs)) in what should be a decent fight. Stevenson hasnt been seen since beating Artem Harutyunyan by unanimous decision back in April of last year , whilst Scholfield was last seen in November of 2024 beating Rene Telle Giron by UD. Stevenson does get alot of flak because of his style , in the fact that its not exciting , he back pedals etc .. but theres no doubting that hes a very skilful and slick operator , id agree that its not perhaps as fan friendly as some other fighters out there but he does what he does to win and tbh you cant really fault him for that , if he has the skill then use it , although in all fairness he was more offensive in his last fight. Schofield is a switch hitter and a solid counter puncher , can be defensive minded early doors but if he spots an opportunity he will try to capitalise on it. He does have a tendency to get a little impatient , which was evident in his last fight when he kinda threw the game plan out of the window and decided to go toe to toe with Giron and promptly got dropped .. he cant afford to do that against some one of Stevensons calibre. For me Stevenson is levels above Scholfield at this stage , has been up against the better opposition and i think that will be the telling factor , Schofield is only 22 and hes a decent prospect and im sure that he'll be looking to take advantage of this opportunity to propel him into the limelight but i feel that it might be a bit soon , i think he can cause problems for Stevenson but Stevenson is usually calm and collected in the ring , doesnt let things get to him and adjusts appropriately and i see him winning this by decision , although with all the recent criticism of his fighting style he could well try and get Schofield out of there but id be more tempted by a win by UD.
Shakur Stevenson To Win ... By Decision
Joshua Buatsi vs Callum Smith
Interesting and intriguing domestic match up this one , as for me its pretty much a must win for both fighters. The unbeaten Buatsi (19 Fights - 19 Wins (13 KOs)) comes into this on the back of a solid win over Willy Hutchinson by SD , winning the WBO Interim Light heavyweight title in the process. Before that he beat long time domestic rival Dan Azeez in a much anticipated fight by unanimous decision. Buatsi is definatley a decent fighter but his career to date is under whelming id say given his talent and what was expected form him , so for me he has to win this one if he wants to remain relevant to be honest. And the same goes for Smith (32 Fights - 30 Wins 22 KOs) - 2 Losses) imho , a capable operator on his day but when hes stepped up to elite level opposition hes lost both times (Canelo and Beterbiev) and though he had two fights last year , Beterbiev (who stopped him in the seventh round) and then in November he beat Carlos Galvan by fifth round TKO , he hasnt really been keeping himself busy averaging pretty much a fight a year .. At this stage of both their careers id say that Buatsi's in on the up and Smiths seems to be on the decline , hes been in some proper wars over the years and im sure they've taken their toll. Smith does have his size on his side , has a height and reach advantage but he to make sure to use them to the max , the one thing he does have is his power , he does have the stopping power that can alter a fight , but its if he can catch Buatsi clean as hes pretty solid defensively speaking and for me hes the better boxer , he does possess power of his own but whether its enough to stop Smith i dont know. This is a hard one to call if im being honest , both have the necessary tools to win , i think its gonna boil down to who wants it more and who brings it on the night. Can make a case for both of them but im slightly edging towards Buatsi , hes the younger fighter and i think he'll be wanting to prove himself on this bigger stage. Tight one as i say but i say Buatsi to win.
Joshua Buatsi To Win
Carlos Adames vs Hamzah Sheeraz
Im seriously looking forward to this one , i think this has the potential and hallmarks to be a real banger and a fight not to miss. Adames (25 Fights - 24 Wins (18 KOs) - 1 Loss) makes the first defence of his WBC World Middleweight Title which he won after beating Terrell Gausha by unanimous decision back in June of last year. He had been the interim champion but after the WBC stripped Jermall Charlo of the belt he was elevated to full champion. His only loss to date came at the hands of Brazilian Patrick Teixeira when they fought for the WBO Interim Light Middleweight title back in 2019 , so hasnt tasted defeat in a while / six fights. Sheeraz (21 Fights - 21 Wins (17 KOs)) is the potential star of the division from what ive seen to date , unbeaten so far he was last seen Stopping Tyler Denny in the second round at Wembley in September of last year , that was an eyecatching win over the durable Tyler , before that he beat the well touted American Austin Williams in Riyadh when he stopped him by TKO in the eleventh round. In fact he Sheeraz hasnt gone the distance since winning a 6 rounder all the way back in December 2018 , though in one of those he did stop Guido Pitto in the tenth and final round so maybe better to say he hasnt heard the final bell in any of his fights since then. In all fairness his opposition hasnt been the best really except for his last two (Denny and Williams) , but he can only beat whose in front of him and hes done that in very convincing fashion in all honesty , Adames resume is better with the likes of Guasha , Julian Williams , Sergiy Derevyanchenko , Patrick Teixeira and a few others which puts him above Sheeraz in the level of opposition hes faced but its all about 'now' , and whilst Adames has proven himself at world level Sheeraz has yet to do that tbh , but hes looked good in his fights to date and hes definatley a potential world beater on the evidence we've seen so far but this fight i think will be the acid test , and we'll see how good he really is. Hamzah has a height and reach advantage which will play to his strengths , particularly his punishing jabs which he uses with pinpoint accuracy Thats not to under estimate Adames chances , that would be fatal as hes a decent come forward aggressive fighter who can punch , so Sheeraz is gonna have to be on point as Adames wont be cowed by his reputation or his skillset , Williams bothered Sheeraz in round two of their fight and Adames hits harder than him so as i say he cant let his concentration slip in this one. Is Sheeraz can start well and use his jab effectively then i can see him frustrating Adames and keeping his distance , picking him off .. but if Adames is quick out the gate and starts applying pressure from the off he could force Sheeraz into making a mistake , which he would be quick to capitalise on from what ive seen of him to date. This is a must win really for both fighters , for Sheeraz going forward and cementing his potential in the division and for Adames to stake his claim as well , as this is gonna be stepping stone to meet the current IBF and WBO belt holder Khazak Janibek Alimkhanuly in an atttempt to unify the belts / division , so theres alot on the line in this one. Like i said at the beginning this has all the makings of a great fight , and i think its one that Sheeraz will win , hes the better boxer for me , and i think he will break Adames down over time , can he stop him ? Well , Adames has never been stopped and his whiskers have held up so far but Sheeraz can crack so it'll be interesting to see if he can stand up to Sheeraz' power , the same goes for Sheeraz and Adames' power though , he has to box clever and stay out of range as if Adames can land cleanly theres every chance he can drop Sheeraz. But as it stands i think Sheeraz gets the job done and i can honestly see him pulling off a mid to late round stoppage in this.
Hamzah Sheeraz To Win .. By Stoppage (Round 6 onwards)
Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel
Looking forward to this one gotta say as its an interesting match , and should be a good watch imho. Zhang (30 Fights - 27 Wins (22 KOs) - 2 Losses - 1 Draw) comes into the ring after a dominant display against Deontay Wilder , stopping him in the fifth round after a counter right that left Wilder wondering what was going on he followed up with the knockout punch. That was a solid display i have to say but a tad diminished as , for me , Wilder seems to be running on empty these days and didnt really show anything in the fight lets be honest , but he did what he had to do and here we are. Before that he lost a decision to Joseph Parker , had Parker in trouble a couple of times in that fight and dropped him twice but failed to capitalise and paid the price , the two Joe Joyce wins before that and a very dubious (imo) loss to Hgrovic completes his last five fights and shows hes been in decent form , and can be argued unlucky not to be unbeaten in all of them to be honest. Kabayel (25 Fights - 25 Wins (17 KOs)) was last seen in May of last year giving Frank Sanchez a beatdown and eventually knocking him out in the seventh round , that surprised a few people , me included , before that he again pulled off a surprise when he stopped the unbeaten Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov in the fourth round , those wins firmly put him in the Heavyweight picture and here we are ! As we've seen both are on a good roll at the moment , for me Zhang has faced the better opposition to date and also imho Kabayel has yet to be tested , his chin has held up well thus far but i think this could well be the acid test as the Chinaman certainly possesses plenty of power and it'll come as no shock should he drop Kabayel at least once during the fight , the thing is as we've seen he doesnt always follow those knockdowns up and try to finish the job , as in the Parker fight , if he does drop Kabayel hes gonna have to follow up and try and stop him up , he cant afford to stand back and let him regain his composure. Zhang is now 41 years old , which is definatley a plus for Kabayel in my book who is 32 , and he does have a tendency to gas out from the mid rounds onwards which is another plus for the Kabayel camp so for me Kabayel has to try and stay out of range of Zhang for the first half of the fight and avoid getting chinned whilst Zhang is gonna have to try and stop his man , all makes for an interesting and intriguing fight. Zhang is fairly slow footed but does have quick hands which Kabayel is gonna have to keep an eye on , Kabayel definatley has the work rate over Zhang and he likes to switch from body to head and vice versa , but as hes doing that he could be open to the counter , in which Zhang seems to specialise in. In the negatives for Kabayel is the fact that he sometimes holds his hands low which he really cant do against someone who hits as hard as Zhang , if Zhang catches him cleanly i cant see him getting up so hes gonna have to be very careful and as i say he is gonna have to pay attention as Zhang is a great counter puncher , and is a sneaky southpaw whose adept at snaking out his jab and he has a thunderous right hook. In his previous two fights Kabayel has been more aggressive but i cant see him doing that here as i think it'll be playing to Zhangs strengths , whilst if he utilises his workrate , goes to the body often , and stays out of range until Zhangs stamina gives out , which it will at some stage , i can see him gaining a points win and possibly even stopping Zhang although i wouldnt be at all confident of that one buts its a possibilty. So , after all that , whose gonna win ? Its a 50/50 fight for me , so many questions that wont be answered until the night .. if Zhang cant catch Kabayel early then i see a Kabayel win by decision being more likely , and i just cant make my mind up if im being honest , its a proper pick 'em fight ! But gotta choose one , so im gonna go for the slight underdog in Zhang , i think hes more proven at this level and can end the fight if he lands a big un but as i say it'd come as no huge shock should Kabayel come away with the win.
Zhilei Zhang To Win
Virgil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov
And another great fight for the stacked card in Saudi and yet again its a proper 50/50 , pick em bout and another one that could be a headliner on any other night. Since his return to the ring after a bout of ill health the hard hitting Ortiz (22 Fights - 22 Wins (21 KOs)) has won all three of his fights , stopping his first two opponents in the first round but last time saw him go the distance for the first time in his career against tough Ukranian Serhil Bohachuk .. he was dropped twice in that fight but managed to get the decision , although in all fairness quite a few people had Bohachuck as the winner. Madrimov (12 Fights - 10 Wins - 1 Loss - 1 Draw) also comes into this on the back of his first loss , but that was against one of the worlds P4P best in Terence Crawford so no great shame in that and in all honesty he held up well , and he held his own and i think if he'd let his hands go more then he could of possibly seriously troubled Crawford , but we'll never know , but as it stands he put up a solid performance but lost on the judges cards. Ortiz Jr has a height and reach advantage here , and has a very fan friendly style in that he puts relentless pressure on his opponents with his punch output and is very heavy handed , as is evident from his record , Madrimov is a more skilled fighter for me , has very good footwork and ring IQ , and can control the distance and tempo of the fight well which are all major attributes that he'll have to employ against someone like Ortiz , obviously he'll have to make sure he doesnt get clipped by Ortiz but seeing as hes just given Crawford a serious run for his money i honestly think thats more than doable. Ortiz will keep coming forward and does leave himself open , and can be hurt as was shown in the Bohachuk fight. Should be an entertaining fight but i think Madrimov will prove to be too good for Ortiz in this one and hand him his first loss.
Israil Madrimov To Win
Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker
And yet another great fight on this stacked Saudi card , on any other day this one would probably be the main event , shows you how good this card is tbh. Looking forward to this one , and like the others its a good match up and one id consider a 50/50 fight. Dubois (24 Fights - 22 Wins (21 KOs) - 2 Losses) arrives on the crest of a wave after whats probably his best career win to date , the five round demolition of Anthony Joshua , which in all honesty surprised alot of people especially the manner in which he done it , though that was a solid win i gotta say that , imo , Joshua seemed weird on the ringwalk , hesitant after the initial exchange and i honestly think he under estimated Dubois. Thats not taking anything away from Dubois as it was a good solid win , and that followed the two stoppages of Jarrell Miller and Filip Hgrovic , which were both good wins and handed both those fighters there first stoppages. After the Uysk fight his stock had fallen as once again the 'quitter' name had been bandied about , but i think now (especially the Hgrovic firefight) those names can be dispelled as he showed a lot of gumption in those fights , it also showed that he seemed to have improved / matured from his earlier days. Parker (38 Fights - 35 Wins (23 KOs) - 3 Losses) too is enjoying a bit of a comeback since his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce back in 2022 , hes had five fights and won them all , two by stoppages , the last two were probably the best of those , first he convincingly beat ex world champion Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision - although in all fairness how much can be read into that is up for debate as i think Wilders best days are far behind him (and imho as ive said before he was never that good to start with) , and then he beat Zhilei Zhang , showed determination and grit in that fight , got dropped twice but still done enough to take the decision .. so both are coming into this in good nick and full of confidence which should make for an enjoyable watch , its gonna be interesting to see how it plays out and who comes out on top. Dubois is probably gonna come out strong , and will try to show his dominance and to land something early but Parker is no slouch and knows how to box of the back foot / from distance and hes only been stopped once , and that was by Joe Joyce so his chin isnt bad , theres also the thing that DDDs last three opponents all stood in front of him basically whereas thats not gonna happen with Parker. I think this could well be a fight of two halves , Dubois coming on strong in the first half of the fight and if Parker can weather the storm he begins to come on strong in the latter half of the fight .. and as Dubois is definatley one of the bigger hitters in the division its a big if about Parker weathering the storm , Zhang as mentioned earlier dropped Parker twice but failed to capitalise , thats something thats not gonna happen with Dubois , if he drops him and Parker gets up then Dubois is gonna follow up quickly and try and finish the fight. I think Parker will be too clever for DDD , hes a seasoned fighter , been in with the top tier of fighters over the years , hes clever , and i can see him staying out of range for the first few rounds and then basically using his jab and outboxing Dubois. But at the same time as ive said throughout this write up the big question is can he take the power of Dubois ? .. he has been dropped numerous times in his career but aside from the Joyce fight has always got up and carried on so his recovery powers seems okay , i dunno this is a difficult one , as they all seem to be on this card , but im edging towards Parker by decision if the fight goes the distance , i think Parker is a multilayered fighter whereas Dubois is pretty much one dimensional , he has got that jab but its all about the power with DDD , if Parker can box him rather than get into a slugfest with him then i think he could start to take him into deep waters , Dubois seems to be okay when hes on top but struggles when hes taken out of his comfort zone if im being honest .. this is another one where im not at all confident but im siding with Parker by decision .. although Dubois by stoppage is just as likely.

Two outta two , Jared Anderson wins comfortably on the whole but at the same time didnt look that good doing it and should be getting that level of opposition out of there , as i say i think when he meets a high level figher who can bang he'll lose .. Keyshawn Davis dominated and destroyed Berenchyk , impressive display tbh

The Stevenson vs Schofield is off due to Scholfield being ill , a replacement has been found in the unbeaten Josh Padley , huge step up in class for him , not gonna bother with a write up for this one , think he'll acquit himself well but ultimatley i see Stevenson emerging the winner

Good luck Sean. I'm off round a mates house to watch this. A shame Dubois has pulled out.
I used to love the boxing but lost interest in it a bit when AJ and Fury just kept avoiding each other. The You tuber type fights piss me off too. But i've seen a little bit of the Beterbiev vs Bivol build up and i'm looking forward to it.
