Bragging rights are on the line when Queensberry Promotions and Matchroom Boxing face off in an event featuring five of the best from each promotion. The main event will see Queensberry’s Zhilei Zhang vs. Deontay Wilder, the wild card of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.
Wilder is a former WBC heavyweight champion who is 1-3 in his last four fights. “The Bronze Bomber” joins Matchroom for this one night. Zhang is the former interim WBO heavyweight champion. He is 2-2 in his last four fights and looks to beat the former champion in one of the biggest fights of his career.
“I’m looking forward to it. Anything is possible if you dream about it. Listen, it’s going to be fireworks. Don’t stand up, go to the bathroom on the night – anything could happen when Chinese Power is fighting Alabama Power,” Zhang told DAZN.
“It’s going to be explosive… I’m aware it’s a team event, so I won’t just be fighting for myself but for the glory of the whole team.”
The rest of the five vs. five card is a who’s who of fighters. Raymond Ford defends the WBA featherweight title against top featherweight contender Nick Ball. Meanwhile, Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois face off in a fight that could help shape the future of the heavyweight division after Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury to become undisputed heavyweight champion earlier in May.
Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Austin Williams and Craig Richards vs. Willy Hutchinson round the five vs. five portion of the event. Finally, Dmitry Bivol defends the WBA light heavyweight title against Malik Zinad.
