</ul>

<p>Live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing"> DAZN PPV</a>, the show is headlined by the fascinating light-heavyweight rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, just four months after the former took the win. </p>

<p>The pair faced off in a tense head-to-head at yesterday’s final press conference and, like their first encounter, it is a battle that has the boxing world split. </p>

<p>Also at yesterday’s media event, it was revealed that D<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/why-did-daniel-dubois-pull-out-joseph-parker-fight-ibf-heavyweight-title-bout-cancellation-explained/14df0yx1k8dop1084rbp3322wc">aniel Dubois was pulling out of his world heavyweight title defence</a> against Jospeh Parker after becoming ill in the morning.  </p>

<p><a href="https://www.daznbet.com/en-gb/promotions?tab=PPV-FB-Beterbiev-Bivol-2&utm_source=ref[…]erral_sports_uk_daznnews_daznbet_5fb_daznnews_190225_BvBPPVFB" target="_blank"><img alt="DAZN Bet Beterbiev vs Bivol" perform:prop="uuid:1uo5af1ism4i31k4jfke6gr8ri;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/d8/13/dazn-bet-beterbiev-vs-bivol_e6ymfuzeagyz10grhex36aicx.jpg?t=580741525" /> </a></p>

<p>Despite the crushing news, plans were hastily rearranged, and it was announced that Martin Bakole would step in and face Parker instead. </p>

<p>The show from top to bottom is stacked with numerous intriguing fights and Jones has delivered his verdict to <em> <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news"> DAZN News </a> </em> on who will be victorious in every fight bar the heavyweight clash featuring Parker and Bakole as it was still being finalised. </p>

The voice of boxing predicts every fight on huge Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol event

<p>WWE's road to<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/wwe/wwe-wrestlemania-41-date-start-time-matches-tv-and-live-stream/zohp1gbttsd413y5dm29wrjee"> WrestleMania</a> could be in line for a massive shake-up after Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson announced he would appear on SmackDown this Friday night. </p>

<p>The wrestling legend turned Hollywood megastar hasn't been seen on WWE TV since the company's debut on Netflix at the start of the year, where he drew some criticisms over his segments after he looked to have put an end to certain storylines many fans believed would be continuing. <br />
<br />
Since then, there have been major doubts about whether Rock would be appearing at this year's WrestleMania, and WWE had seemingly carried on with plans for the event that don't involve 'The Final Boss'. </p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Read next I <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/wrestling/huge-wwe-name-added-to-road-to-wrestlemania-european-tour/ub5sc5wgazhk15m7ih4azhwhm">Huge WWE name added to Road to WrestleMania European tour</a></strong></li>
</ul>

<p>However, in a press release ahead of Friday night's SmackDown show, WWE announced that The Rock will make an appearance on the show, which would suggest he could yet play a part in WWE's biggest show of the year.</p>

<p>Rock himself has further fuelled that excitement by taking to social media and stirring the pot ahead of the show by posting, "The Final Boss is coming to handle business, deliver a big beautiful gift to the city of New Orleans and f—k up a certain someone’s life with the Final Boss gospel." </p>

<p>The 52-year-old has long been earmarked to have a match with his cousin and current WWE Superstar Roman Reigns in what would be one of the biggest WrestleMania matches of all time. <br />
<br />
The pair were tag team partners at last year's event when they successfully joined forces to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one. <br />
<br />
Since then, Reigns has become a fan favourite, and with the Tribal Chief still currently without a clear opponent for WrestleMania in April, the dream match with The Rock may yet still be on the cards. </p>

<p>Bakole, now training and living in Scotland, was set to face Efe Ajagba on May 2 in an IBF final title eliminator, and had been on holiday in his home country the Democratic Republic Of The Congo when he got the call from Shalom.</p>

<p>The 31-year-old was last in the ring in August 2024, his only fight of the year. Here he destroyed the previously unbeaten American Jared Anderson in Los Angeles within five rounds, flooring his opponent three times in the process.</p>

<p>That was a fight witnessed by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and Bakole's brutal display will have been a determining factor in him getting this late call up.</p>

<p>However, having had just three fights in the last two years, there will be question marks over Bakole's fitness, shape and stamina. His full training camp for his planned May 2 fight was not set to start until he returned from his current vacation. </p>

<p>A 6'6" and around the 280lb mark, Bakole is someone that needs to keep on top of his shape in order to be at his brutal best. But Shalom has no concerns over the giant heavyweight.</p>

<p>"He is 100 percent into this fight, he wanted it, there was no standing in the way of this. On Saturday night he wants to shock the world and he is coming to win. Trust me, Martin is ready to go.</p>

<p>"This has come from him and him only, he wants this and is ready to go.</p>

<p>"For me, Joseph Parker is the fittest heavyweight out there. So, over 12 rounds it could be tough with Martin coming in at two days' notice. But if Martin can pull this off he puts himself he announces himself at the very top of the division.</p>

<p>"Everyone has taken a big risk in making this fight happen - Martin, Joseph, His Excellency - so everyone needs to take a lot of credit.</p>

<p>"But it is a phenomenal fight and everyone should be very excited about it."</p>

Joseph Parker

'Ready to shock the world' - Martin Bakole manager issues exciting warning to Joseph Parker and all boxing fans

<p>The boxing world went into a frenzy on Thursday night after another fight on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-2-parker-vs-bakole-date-fight-card-how-to-watch-ppv-price/anran4842w6w15gmi43oz9x3r"> Riyadh Season's Last Crescendo bill </a> was hit by illness. </p>

<p>This time it was the IBF heavyweight title fight between defending champion Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker. <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/daniel-dubois-replacement-martin-bakole-for-joseph-parker-fight/1tgm2zzn5ive2104u56upkknxf"> Dubois has been forced to withdraw </a> after coming down with illness which has rendered him unable to compete. </p>

<p>What followed was a frantic search for a replacement moment, and within just a couple of hours, a new foe for Parker was confirmed, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/who-is-martin-bakole-daniel-dubois-replacement-vs-joseph-parker/sjshf6q1lib61hmegxjvy72p9"> the dangerous Martin Bakole </a> . </p>

</ul>

<p>While there will be no world title on the line, Parker is the WBO's interim heavyweight champion, but will he be putting his belt on the line in a fight which has been put together at the last minute. </p>

<p><a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news"><em>DAZN News </em> </a> explains everything you need to know. </p>

<h2>Is there a title on the line for the Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole fight?</h2>

<p>It has been confirmed by the WBO president Gustavo Olivieri in a post on <em> <a href="https://x.com/olivierilaw/status/1892715331715555809?s=46&t=q-7nqUdVDXY_kLS9CO2mBg"> X </a> </em> that Parker's interim heavyweight title will be at stake against Bakole. </p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Re: Joseph Parker<br />
<br />
The WBO will sanction Parker vs. Bakole for the Interim title at Saturday’s “Last Crescendo” event in Riyadh. The winner will become the <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldBoxingOrg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> @WorldBoxingOrg </a> mandatory challenger for Usyk. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Boxing?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> #Boxing </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Queensberry?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> @Queensberry </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/boxxer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> @boxxer </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Turki_alalshikh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> @Turki_alalshikh </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RiyadhSeason?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"> #RiyadhSeason </a></p>

<p>"The WBO will sanction Parker vs. Bakole for the interim title at Saturday's "Last Crescendo" event in Riyadh," Olivieri wrote.</p>

<p>"The winner will become the WBO mandatory challenger for Usyk."</p>

<h2>Will the Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole winner face Oleksandr Usyk next? </h2>

<p>As explained by the WBO president, the winner of Parker vs Bakole will become the interim champion and therefore a mandatory challenger to Usyk who holds the full title. </p>

<p>However, whether this fight is next is down to whether the sanctioning body calls for a mandatory defence. </p>

<p>With Dubois holding on to his IBF heavyweight title, it's likely that an undisputed fight with Usyk will take precedence. </p>

<h2>What does this mean for Daniel Dubois?</h2>

<p>Facing Parker was a voluntary defence of his IBF world title for Dubois. Therefore, Dubois will not be stripped of his title with the New Zealander not being a mandatory challenger.</p>

<p>When it comes to what is next for Dubois, he could now go full steam ahead for an undisputed title fight against Oleksandr Usyk, or even face the winner of Parker vs Bakole. </p>

Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole, what's on the line as Oleksandr Usyk looms?

<p>Tony Bellew admires <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/who-is-martin-bakole-daniel-dubois-replacement-vs-joseph-parker/sjshf6q1lib61hmegxjvy72p9"> Martin Bakole </a> for taking on such a big challenge at short notice, but he believes the heavyweight dangerman only has a short window to beat Joseph Parker. </p>

<p>Incredible scenes gripped the final press conference yesterday as news filtered around the place that <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/daniel-dubois-replacement-martin-bakole-for-joseph-parker-fight/1tgm2zzn5ive2104u56upkknxf"> Dubois was out of his world title defence due to illness and several names were immediately mentioned as a replacement </a> .  </p>

</ul>

<p>The fighter who got the call, Bakole, accepted the challenge and he immediately set off to Saudi Arabia for the biggest opportunity of his career, which can be seen live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing"> DAZN PPV </a> .</p>

<p>For years, Bakole has constantly called out boxing’s biggest names looking to prove himself as one of the best and he will now have the chance to do that against the popular New Zealander. </p>

<p><a href="https://www.daznbet.com/en-gb/promotions?tab=PPV-FB-Beterbiev-Bivol-2&utm_source=ref[…]erral_sports_uk_daznnews_daznbet_5fb_daznnews_190225_BvBPPVFB" target="_blank"><img alt="DAZN Bet Beterbiev vs Bivol" perform:prop="uuid:1uo5af1ism4i31k4jfke6gr8ri;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/d8/13/dazn-bet-beterbiev-vs-bivol_e6ymfuzeagyz10grhex36aicx.jpg?t=580741525" /> </a></p>

<p>Bellew, a former heavyweight campaigner and cruiserweight world champion, has provided plenty of credit for Bakole stepping up, but insists the lack of preparation could hurt his hopes. </p>

<p>“Listen, credit to both men for stepping up and keeping this amazing because this is a brilliant fight that has been put together at the last minute,” said Bellew when speaking exclusively to <em> <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news"> DAZN News </a> </em> . </p>

<p>“Parker should have too much in this due to his experience and also the fact he’s got a full camp behind him that I believe has gone very well. </p>

<p>“Bakole will be extremely dangerous in the first half of the fight, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him treat this like a four round fight and just go out and empty the tank for an early stoppage. </p>

<p>“That might be his best route to victory because fighting Parker on such short notice for 12 rounds is going to be very hard. This has everything to be a great fight though, and once again, I respect both men so much for stepping up.”</p>

Tony Bellew makes his prediction for last minute Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole heavyweight battle

<p><a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/shakur-stevenson-vs-floyd-schofield-ppv-prices/57aifpqnppr817dc6vjo8nw28">Shakur Stevenson</a> will step into something of the unknown this Saturday when he faces late substitute, Josh Padley, live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing">DAZN PPV</a>.</p>

<p>The last-minute drama and unpredictability expected on fight week has hit the Newark native as he now faces a new opponent on just three days' notice. </p>

<p>Stevenson had been expected to face fellow American, Floyd Schofield, but that bout is no longer happening after <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/floyd-schofield-withdraws-from-shakur-stevenson-world-title-fight-replacement-to-be-confirmed/1bzyiryat1p461ib2yh4veqecp">Schofield became ill and was withdrawn by the BBBofC</a>.   </p>

</ul>

<p>Padley, who took the unbeaten record of Mark Chamberlain last September, received the call and just a few hours later he was on a plane to Saudi Arabia. </p>

<p>The Doncaster man will now fight for the WBC lightweight title, and he has the chance to cause a huge shock against one of boxing’s best fighters. </p>

<p>Stevenson enters the contest with some uncertainty surrounding him after he had to deal with his own crisis last year when he pulled out of a fight with Joe Cordina. </p>

<p>Stevenson’s reason for the withdrawal was an injured hand and he would later undergo surgery to correct issues with the matter. </p>

<p>Having his first fight since going under the knife, Stevenson will be hoping there are no problems and that he can deal with an expected onslaught from Padley. </p>

<p><a href="https://www.daznbet.com/en-gb/promotions?tab=PPV-FB-Beterbiev-Bivol-2&utm_source=ref[…]erral_sports_uk_daznnews_daznbet_5fb_daznnews_190225_BvBPPVFB" target="_blank"><img alt="DAZN Bet Beterbiev vs Bivol" perform:prop="uuid:1uo5af1ism4i31k4jfke6gr8ri;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/d8/13/dazn-bet-beterbiev-vs-bivol_e6ymfuzeagyz10grhex36aicx.jpg?t=580741525" /> </a></p>

<p>Chris Mannix, who has followed Stevenson's career closely, is eager to see if the champion’s hand is 100%. </p>

<p>“I think the big question with Shakur going into this fight is how will his hand hold up?” said Mannix when speaking exclusively to <em> <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news"> DAZN News</a></em>. </p>

<p>“He’s just recently had surgery on it. If you look at it closely you can still see the scar on his right hand. </p>

<p>“When I talked to him this week, I asked him point blank, ‘how is the hand?’ and he said, ‘Getting there.’ That’s not the kind of answer you are looking for if you’re someone in Team Shakur. </p>

<p>“He’s already said that he can only fight twice a year, but with a new opponent, who has plenty of energy, he needs to be able to throw that right hand.”</p>

Shakur Stevenson

Chris Mannix names the big question mark that is surrounding Shakur Stevenson ahead of Josh Padley fight

<p>Did Joseph Parker's opponent for this weekend just become even <em> more </em> dangerous?</p>

<p>That is arguable after IBF heavyweight world champion <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/how-to-buy-joseph-parker-vs-martin-bakole-in-the-us/1mlg8vnwxm7we1gydniw14qebu">Daniel Dubois had to withdraw Thursday due to a late illness</a>, with Martin Bakole named as his replacement. So Saturday night will have Parker taking on Bakole at <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/last-crescendo-beterbiev-bivol-dubois-parker-reasons-to-watch/97tl855bi1vu1mug7j6bud40n"> Riyadh Season’s The Last Crescendo </a> at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/p/boxing"> DAZN pay-per-view, which can be bought here </a> . A shot against unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk could follow for the winner.</p>

<p>Will Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) use his package of speed, power and precision to handle the late replacement in Bakole? Or will Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) seize the opportunity with another emphatic knockout?</p>

<p>Let's analyze the keys to victory for both fighters.</p>

<h2>Joseph Parker's keys to victory</h2>

<h3>Pepper Bakole with the jab</h3>

<p>Parker has an excellent power jab that he especially used well in victories over Wilder and Zhang.</p>

<p>He must assert the weapon with speed to contest the blunt-traumatic force that Bakole possesses in his hands.</p>

<p>Whether it is flicking out that jab to keep Bakole at bay or sitting on it for a more powerful output, Parker's ability to score with the stick will keep the points increasing in his favor.</p>

<p>It will also open up his movement which is sorely needed against a home run hitter like Bakole.</p>

<p>Although the 6-foot-6, 284-pound Bakole was dazzling in his eye-popping fifth-round KO of Jared Anderson last August, he keeps his guard low and is a rather stationary target — boding well for Parker's jab and movement around the ring.</p>

<h3>Make Bakole work with movement</h3>

<p>Another part of Parker's fight game that makes him a special boxer is the way he moves around the ring.</p>

<p>This movement stifled the likes of Wilder and Zhang, forcing them to reset their offense.</p>

<p>It also went long ways toward him scoring points on the run as Parker was able to hit and not be hit against Wilder and get the better of Zhang doing the same — despite suffering two knockdowns in their March 2024 fight.</p>

<p>If he can make Bakole move and work, it could aid his chances to exit Riyadh with a big victory in tow.</p>

<p>Also, showing agility could spell the difference between him having his hand raised or looking up at the bright lights as Bakole's latest KO victim.</p>

<h3>Change levels, explode up</h3>

<p><img alt="Parker-Zhang_08032024" perform:prop="uuid:1bgldm1kzb2811jtl0x00ifr66;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/e9/7a/parker-zhang08032024_rdkm3mf7hp541jjiikss4hjse.jpg?t=545543574" /></p>

<p>Watch Parker against Zhang and you'll see how he was able to brilliantly change levels and explode upwards with major pop to his right hand, landing the weapon flush and at angles.</p>

<p>While Bakole has deceptively quick hands, Parker can still rely on these same tactics.</p>

<p>They might be especially of use for when Bakole forces him into cramped quarters, although Parker tends to change levels and score with precise power punching better when he is working with more room in the center of the ring.</p>

<p>If he does this well against Bakole and the fight goes the distance, Parker might have enough to produce the victory.</p>

<h2>Martin Bakole's keys to victory</h2>

<h3>Keep a tight guard</h3>

<p>Run back the tape on Bakole's massive win over Anderson and you'll see the Congolese fighter often keep his right hand cocked by his chin but his left hand well below the waist.</p>

<p>He has got to tighten up that guard against a veteran like Parker who could feast with the jab and a hit and don't get hit strategy.</p>

<h2>Crowd Parker's space, blast him over the top</h2>

<p>When using the left hand as a range-finding jab to set up a power right, Parker fell victim to Zhang coming over the top with a straight left which landed flush and put the New Zealander on his backside in their March fight.</p>

<p>Bakole, who is the same height as Zhang, should look to do the same.</p>

<p>He also has a quick, thudding left-right combo which he could unleash from the same position when he spots this Parker tendency.</p>

<p>Bakole would be aided in walking Parker down to crowd his space as cutting off the former world champ's ring real estate will help him smother with his outrageous power.</p>

<h2>Unload with uppercuts</h2>

<p><img alt="PIC 2 Martin Bakole_03082024" perform:prop="uuid:17x2x1fg9qyzazdydurpwiyld;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/1a/7d/pic-2-martin-bakole03082024_1cla5fah9wsb61qnku34eqfyck.jpg?t=1467906193" /></p>

<p>If Bakole is able to absorb Parker's shots early, it is up to the Congolese fighter to walk through and launch his uppercuts.</p>

<p>With either hand, Bakole's uppercuts are compact and sneaky.</p>

<p>They appear as if they don't have much on them but detonate with blunt force which could very well see Parker taste the canvas en route to another career-building victory in Bakole's ascension up the heavyweight ranks.</p>

Daniel Dubois

Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole keys to victory: Breaking down tactics and styles of each heavyweight fighter

<p>They proved in their original bout that they are two modern day, pound-for-pound greats and on Saturday night <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol-2-ringwalks-time-riyadh-season-dazn/1x7pvdnfat33p141w32tgvcpcb"> Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol </a> should again display why the world was so desperate to see this rematch and so quickly.</p>

<p>Beterbiev comes into the contest as the undisputed world light heavyweight champion <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol-live-updates-results-and-highlights/iza26hq294h1i7e00k1migbb"> after his majority decision victoy over his great rival Bivol in October</a>. However, as always in close fights, many disagreed with the judges's scoring, believing Bivol had taken the bout. </p>

<p>To signal how close it was, one judge even scored the contest a draw. </p>

<p>So, how will this rematch go, could we even see a rare draw, and what will the result mean for both's future?</p>

<h2>Beterbiev vs Bivol prediction: Who wins?</h2>

<h3>Chris Walker - senior boxing reporter</h3>

<p>If this fight was three months down the line, then I would be backing Artur Beterbiev to make it 2-0 without any hesitation.</p>

<p>Four months on from their first meeting, the champion is facing a quick turnaround on his aching body and that could slow him down in the fight’s second half, the place where he took over last time.</p>

<p>You may see Beterbiev start quicker this time around to combat that, but I just see Dmitry Bivol nicking enough rounds to set up a trilogy fight later this year.</p>

<h3>Mark Lelinwalla - boxing analyst</h3>

<p>Bivol by split decision</p>

<p>When Beterbiev decided to walk Bivol down, he was able to win enough rounds to earn the majority decision.</p>

<p>In this rematch, I'm looking for Bivol to use his footwork, maintain distance with his jab and piece together enough combinations to sway at least two of the three judges.</p>

<p>His movement in the ring will be key to becoming the new undisputed light heavyweight world champion.</p>

<h3>Derek Bilton - boxing feature writer</h3>

<p>It’s virtually impossible to call this with any degree of certainty and your view depends on whether you like the exceptional timing of Bivol or the relentless aggression of Beterbiev.</p>

<p>My hunch is Bivol fought the perfect fight last time while Beterbiev can be better with a build up that has not been hampered by knee issues.</p>

<p>Beterbiev on points in another high-level thriller.</p>

<h3>Matt Astbury - boxing reporter</h3>

<p>I have watched the <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-1-rescoring-undisputed-fight/141ushnnvbpgk1x4mi6weiids8"> first fight twice now,</a> and I am edging towards revenge for Dmitry Bivol on Saturday night.</p>

<p>Bivol did not do much wrong in the first fight, he was landing the cleaner punches, avoiding the majority of what Beterbiev threw at him, and he needs to do the same here.</p>

<p>The only area which he could exploit more is utilising his smooth ring movement more to frustrate Beterbiev, whose footwork is a slightly more one dimensional.</p>

<h2>How likely are we to see a draw?</h2>

<h3>Chris Walker</h3>

<p>Draws in boxing are very rare and one only has to take a look at expert predictions to see even those with the knowledge never pluck for one.</p>

<p>Too many things can happen in a round and with boxing being subjective, having three pairs of eyes at ringside will often bring up a variety of views.</p>

<p>Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 may be one or two rounds away from a draw, but it’s highly likely we get another definitive winner.</p>

<h3>Mark Lelinwalla </h3>

<p>I think we will have more decisive scoring in this rematch. However, you never know how judges will score a fight.</p>

<p>Beterbiev being his bullish self and plowing forward with power should be emphatic in this sequel — as should Bivol's boxing brilliance. </p>
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OiHKJTjqBpE?si=vkgWDaaurrF1P3bz" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

<h3>Derek Bilton</h3>

<p>Regardless of what Eddie Hearn said in the aftermath, the first fight was a contest of two halves. Bivol was really sharp early on and Beterbiev came on strong in the last third.</p>

<p>The bookies have the draw at 16/1 and that is a live runner given how well matched these two are. </p>

<h3>Matt Astbury </h3>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">It is very tough to call whether the rematch could end in a draw. I personally don’t see it.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">After the first encounter was too close to call, both Beterbiev and Bivol will go out looking to eliminate any doubt which could prompt more mistakes as they look to be more adventurous inside the ring in the hopes of catching the attention of the ringside judges.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> </p>

<h2>Where would a second defeat leave Bivol?</h2>

<h3>Chris Walker</h3>

<p>A second career loss for Bivol won’t be the end of the world, but it will be the closure of his rivalry with Beterbiev.</p>

<p>It’s unlikely that Beterbiev will be able to hold onto all his world titles in the immediate aftermath and a shot later this year against Callum Smith, Joshua Buatsi or David Benavidez could be possible.</p>

<p>There’s also the potential to revisit his feud with Canelo Alvarez, who he defeated in 2022.</p>

<h3>Mark Lelinwalla</h3>

<p>A second defeat could still leave Bivol with options. One would be to make a Canelo Alvarez rematch happen. The other would be to fight David Benavidez at 175 pounds.</p>

<p>The two have sparred and an actual fight between them would be star-studded.</p>

<p>A third option, perhaps, would be for Bivol to move up to cruiserweight. Gilberto Ramirez is the unified WBA/WBO world champion there and Bivol holds a victory over him.</p>

<h3>Derek Bilton </h3>

<p>It would hurt his ego and mean he would definitely lose the chance to be recognised as the best light-heavy of his generation.</p>

<p>However, he would hardly be out in the cold as there would be options to do it again with Canelo Alvarez or take on the brilliant David Benavidez.</p>

<p>Bivol is a genius in the ring so let’s hope there are more big nights for him regardless of the result on February 22. </p>

<h3>Matt Astbury </h3>

<p>There are three options for Bivol if he loses. The first, a trilogy with Beterbiev if once again, it is a razor close decision or a draw.</p>

<p>The second, another fight with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, after the Mexican has frequently expressed an interest in the rematch.</p>

<p>The third, maybe a possible move to cruiserweight and attempt to be come a two-weight world champion.</p>

<p>Joseph Parker takes on Martin Bakole, and below that, in a fight that could have some relevance to the winner, Zhilei Zhang will tackle Agit Kabayel in a big heavyweight battle. </p>

<p>The show has drawn comparisons to events from previous years, especially from promoters like Don King and Bob Arum, who would regularly stack their cards with intriguing fights starring the sport’s biggest names. </p>

<p>Chris Mannix, who will be ringside for <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing"> DAZN </a>  on Saturday night, has been around the sport for many years in various roles as a reporter and also as a ringside analyst. </p>

<p>He can recall many shows loaded with some of the best fighters about, but where does he rank ‘The Last Crescendo’ when it comes to ranking boxing’s biggest ever events? </p>

<p>“I’ve never been to a card as deep as this,” buzzed Mannix when speaking exclusively to <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news"> <em> DAZN News </em> </a> . </p>

<p>“Even if this was Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 along with six guys from my neighbourhood, that would still be a pretty good card. </p>

<p>“Having the heavyweight championship of the world as a co-main event, having Hamzah Sheeraz in the middle of the card, who could main event anywhere, and then you have Smith vs Buatsi opening the show. This is remarkable. </p>

<p>“Look, Don King had some big cards that I remember watching as a young man in the 1990s but they were four fights deep. This is seven fights deep with legitimate main events and you’re not going to get deeper than that.”</p>

<p>Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) was last in action in August, when he stopped Jared Anderson in the fifth round of their bout in Los Angeles. The 31-year-old has won 10 straight fights after suffering the lone defeat of his career in 2018.</p>

<p>Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) is a former WBO heavyweight champion who currently holds that organisation's interim title. The 33-year-old is coming off impressive victories against Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang in his two most recent fights. </p>

<p>Bakole has been itching for a fight on the biggest stage for years, become frustrated in recent times that potential contenders have seemingly been 'ducking him' due to what he sees as their fear of his explosive power. </p>

<p>It even lead to the Congolese fighter, who now lives and trains in Scotland, to call out Oleksandr Usyk, saying: “I would love to fight Oleksandr Usyk for unification.” </p>

<p>“That’s a beautiful fight because I would knock him out, nice and cool. Nobody would stand before me without going down.”</p>

<p>That could now become a future bout, if Bakole takes his out-of-the-blue opportunity against Parker and defeats the former WBO world champions.</p>

<h2><strong>Artur Beterbiev’s keys to victory </strong></h2>

<h3><strong>Be mindful of his guard </strong></h3>

<p>Upon watching their October fight back, Beterbiev told <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing"><em>DAZN</em></a> “my left hand is a little bit lower,” critiquing his guard. That error allowed Bivol to poke away and constantly split Beterbiev’s guard — or lack thereof — with a prodding jab.</p>

<p>Simply being mindful of that guard and making sure it is tighter and more disciplined could account for less jabs to sneak through and subsequently a lower amount of times that Beterbiev must reset his offense.</p>

<h3><strong>Fight forward, close the distance early </strong></h3>

<p><img alt="PIC 2 Beterbiev-Bivol_12102024" perform:prop="uuid:1o0biqsivwyx218ffx81h2fp0y;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/fa/11/pic-2-beterbiev-bivol12102024_1fufneqt6jyuezo348g04tc01.jpg?t=-1947668981" /></p>

<p>Once Beterbiev fought on the front foot, he changed the complexion of the fight and eventually managed to eke out a majority decision over Bivol.</p>

<p>If Beterbiev makes it a conscious decision to walk through the sting of Bivol’s jab to pressure and unleash his power punching, it could go long ways toward the undisputed light heavyweight world champion softening his challenger up.</p>

<p>When Bivol is pumping the jab from a distance, he is in his comfort zone. It is up to Beterbiev to close the gap and make him uncomfortable early.</p>

<h3><strong>Go for the knockout </strong></h3>

<p>If Beterbiev could trap and force Bivol into the phone booth early, he must go for the knockout.</p>

<p>The longer this fight goes, the more Bivol could use his boxing IQ and make real-time <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol-2-who-has-the-edge-rematch/crxdbg6j59a2z8a0d776k3ub"> adjustments that could give him the edge</a>.</p>

<p>At 40, Beterbiev unloading his power upon seeing an opening is his best chance to produce the stoppage and leave Riyadh with his undisputed crown intact emphatically.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.daznbet.com/en-gb/promotions?tab=PPV-FB-Beterbiev-Bivol-2&utm_source=ref[…]erral_sports_uk_daznnews_daznbet_5fb_daznnews_190225_BvBPPVFB" target="_blank"><img alt="DAZN Bet Beterbiev vs Bivol" perform:prop="uuid:1uo5af1ism4i31k4jfke6gr8ri;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/d8/13/dazn-bet-beterbiev-vs-bivol_e6ymfuzeagyz10grhex36aicx.jpg?t=580741525" /></a></p>

<h2><strong>Dmitry Bivol’s keys to victory </strong></h2>

<h3><strong>Assert the jab </strong></h3>

<p>Bivol’s jab was a magnificent weapon in the original clash with Beterbiev.</p>

<p>Not only did it score him points steadily but Bivol was able to use that stick to constantly disrupt Beterbiev’s rhythm and force the champ to reset his offense.</p>

<p>Bivol must assert that jab early once again in the sequel as it is his best shot to bank rounds and begin to piece together more damage.</p>

</ul>

<h3><strong>Move, keep the distance </strong></h3>

<p>When Bivol’s jab is connecting, he would improve his chances to become the new undisputed light heavyweight world champion by moving and maintaining a healthy distance.</p>

<p>Bivol got into trouble in the original fight by letting Beterbiev walk him down and engaging him with fiery exchanges.</p>

<p>Beterbiev must be credited with imposing his will, however Bivol could negate some of these opportunities by taking a step back or moving laterally to force the champ to work.</p>

<p>Doing this at a distance by relying on his footwork, while firing away with the jab will allow Bivol to keep scoring points on the cards.</p>

<h3><strong>Piece together combinations </strong></h3>

<p><img alt="Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol" perform:prop="uuid:145wp7i9kst501jp36ufr2h3jv;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/ee/26/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol_cus9dhbfyeoo17j3n1y5i0kuq.jpg?t=499946269" /></p>

<p>Turning his jab into quick, slicing combinations empowers Bivol to fight his game in this rematch and possibly stay in front of Beterbiev on the scorecards.</p>

<p>Bivol was able to assert the jab early in October.</p>

<p>If he can accomplish this feat again during the rematch and piece together the combinations soon thereafter, he would improve his chances to hand Beterbiev his first loss immensely.</p>

Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol 2: The tactics and styles of each fighter and their keys to victory

<p>Things don't always go according to plan in sports, and Shakur Stevenson learned that first-hand this week when his scheduled WBC lightweight title defence against Floyd Schofield at <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-2-dubois-vs-parker-date-fight-card-how-to-watch/anran4842w6w15gmi43oz9x3r">Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo</a> was turned upside down just three days before the fight was set to take place.</p>

<p>Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) will still defend the belt on Saturday, but it won't be against Schofield. Instead, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/shakur-stevenson-vs-floyd-schofield-fight-time-ringwalks-running-order-streaming-watch/gcpq2jihcd1l16dod6bvm19eb">the 27-year-old will face Josh Padley,</a> who replaced Schofield on three days' notice due to an illness forcing the latter out of the fight.</p>

<p>"It’s been kind of crazy, there has been a lot going on, but I remain focused," Stevenson said at Thursday's pre-fight press conference.</p>

<p>"I know I have put in a lot of work this training camp and I come in here with the same mentality. I know this is a guy who wants to take food off my table and I’m not going to let him."</p>

</ul>

<p>The American spent weeks preparing for his fellow countryman in Schofield, but now has to pivot to take on another undefeated fighter in Britain's Padley, a relative unknown at this level despite his 15-0 record.</p>

<p>It's a tough ask, but Stevenson is confident that his experience will see him through.</p>

<p>"I fought in the amateurs, I think it reminds me of the amateurs where you don’t know who you’re going to fight next," he said. </p>

<p>"It’s okay, I’m going to figure him out and take care of business."</p>

</ul>

<p>If Stevenson has any concerns about a lack of preparedness, then Padley surely has an even stronger case. The 29-year-old started the week on a different continent and is now getting ready for his first world title shot.</p>

<p>"The last 48 hours have been absolutely crazy for me, a dream opportunity," Padley said.</p>

<p>"This is the pinnacle of boxing, and this is what I’m here for."</p>

Shakur Stevenson, Josh Padley gear up for 'crazy' showdown in Riyadh

<p>On a fight card full of stars, Vergil Ortiz Jr. is trying to be the biggest one there.</p>

<p>Ortiz defends his WBC interim super welterweight title against Israil Madrimov on Saturday as part of Riyadh Season's massive <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-2-dubois-vs-parker-date-fight-card-how-to-watch/anran4842w6w15gmi43oz9x3r">The Last Crescendo</a> card, which is headlined by an undisputed light heavyweight title rematch between <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol-2-ppv-prices/1ck906qlg0v7c1jm5p0m7hb3oj">Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.</a></p>

<p>Yet despite the presence of that bout and several others featuring some of boxing's biggest names, Ortiz (22-0, 21 KOs) is convinced that he and Madrimov (10-1, 7 KOs) will put on the most exciting performance of them all.</p>

<p>"In my opinion, trying to be as unbiased as I can, this is the best fight on the card, it’s going to steal the show," Ortiz said at Thursday's press conference.</p>

<p>Madrimov expressed a similar sentiment to his upcoming opponent, declaring that he "always" chases "big fights" to put on the best display for the fans.</p>

<p>But while both men will be looking to entertain — and even <em>be</em> entertained by the rest of the card — Ortiz says his focus is full on the task at hand.</p>

<p>"I’m very excited to see all these other fights happen in person, I’m very privileged to be here and I’m not going to let this opportunity go to waste."</p>

The Last Crescendo: Vergil Ortiz Jr. says title fight against Israil Madrimov will 'steal the show'

<p>Altrincham are one of the <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/soccer/national-league-202425-schedule-kick-off-times-and-results/1ar1uotclb80a1wx8s0s7s97a6">National League's </a>most in-form teams, and continued their unbeaten run with Tuesday's 2-1 win over Hartlepool. <br />
<br />
Phil Parkinson's men haven't suffered defeat for eleven games now, putting the Robins firmly in the race for a play-off place come the end of the season. <br />
<br />
The match-winner in midweek was midfielder Lucas Weaver, who scored his first league goal for the club to see his side get all three points, and he believes that the current spirit in the camp is getting the best of the players. </p>

<p>"The lads and the vibe around the squad is better than it's been all season," he told Curly and Aaron McLean on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/home/jawkxw7v25zjd9o3b0iy7iq6/q7d4hi8wvv0l15cvj0gsqwo3z">DAZN's Multi-Match Live</a>. </p>

<p>"Everything is just ticking at the minute and we're taking each game as it comes, any challenge we're just rising above it. That's eleven unbeaten now, and to a man everyone is chipping in and been top-drawer in training and that's showing on the pitch." </p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Read next I <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-CA/news/soccer/tales-from-the-national-league-learning-lessons-from-the-deep-end-as-steve-morison-plots-suttons-football-league-return/1xv4f84ch5pwf1pk4oxw7ebdfa">Tales from the National League: Learning lessons from the deep end as Steve Morison plots Sutton's football league return</a></strong></li>
</ul>

<p>Weaver moved up four leagues to sign for Altrincham last summer, and after some loan spells earlier in the campaign has broken into Parkinson's team. The midfielder credits his gaffer for knowing how to handle his talent, as they are both now getting the rewards. <br />
<br />
"He's been exceptional since the day I walked in," Weaver said when asked about this manager. <br />
<br />
"He's taken me under his wing and he always said that he had a plan for me from the start, he had a vision and knew what I could do and he just wanted to wait for the right time - which is what he's done.</p>

<p>"It's tough as a player to feel you're not ready and to be sent on loan, but looking back it was the best thing for me. As a man-manager he's top-drawer." <br />
<br />
There's a real battle for the play-offs brewing in the top half of the table, with Altrincham sitting in sixth, and a whole cluster of clubs around them with the same aims. However, as expected, Weaver isn't entertaining any promotion thoughts just yet. <br />
<br />
Adding: "As cliche as it sounds, you can only take one game as it comes.</p>

<p>"There's only so far ahead you can look in this league with the amount of quality there is. Every team can beat every team so you can't bank on any results.</p>

<p>"You've got to earn your stripes and win those games to even start thinking about promotion and fixating on the play-off places." </p>

Altrincham midfielder Lucas Weaver hails spirit in the squad as club continue unbeaten run

<p>When I think about the career of <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/joshua-buatsi-vs-callum-smith-fight-time-ringwalks-running-order-streaming-watch/ubga0hv322mb1ety648hdclpz">Joshua Buatsi</a>, I think of the Robert Frost poem ‘The Road Not Taken’.</p>

<p>Frost was an American poet who wrote eloquently and prodigiously about rural life, and ‘The Road Not Taken’, while of its time, is one of his most popular works.</p>

<p>Taken by some to be a poem simply about joyous self-assertion and following your own path, the composition is actually a bit more layered than that. I always felt Frost was pointing out that in life, whichever way we go, whichever route we take, we are sure to miss something good on the other path.</p>

<p>Buatsi’s career to this point has been the very definition of a slow burner. He claimed a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and made his pro debut in July 2017.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing" target="_blank"><img alt="Beterbiev vs Bivol 2" perform:prop="uuid:t2ky5xm9c648130dspsq1b3wr;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/cf/d5/beterbiev-vs-bivol-2_1uocg3fy4qbby1je9zil3y0g75.jpg?t=-622071244" /></a></p>

<p>That first pro victory, a second-round stoppage of Cuban Carlos Mena at the O2 Arena, happened almost eight years ago now and, while he won the British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight titles in February 2024 (and previously held the British title at 175lbs in 2019), he has also caught a bit of criticism from fans for reaching the age of 31 and not yet fighting for a world title.</p>

<p>Not only that, but boxing casuals are also unhappy that he has not even settled his beef yet with London light-heavyweight rival Anthony Yarde!</p>

<p>Buatsi’s relatively slow progress on the pro scene has also been magnified by how quickly other Olympians have progressed.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-CA/news/boxing/shakur-stevenson-vs-floyd-schofield-abdullah-mason-prediction/m95hegaegafj12lwfssyyt2i3">Shakur Stevenson </a>for example took silver at 56kg in 2016 but has held multiple world championships in three weight classes - from featherweight to lightweight – since turning over after Rio.</p>

<p>Robson Conceição and Robeisy Ramirez also medalled at the 2016 Olympics, and both have been world champions as professionals since ditching the amateur vest. </p>

<p>Keyshawn Davis – who was in the next Olympic cycle in 2020 and won a silver medal at lightweight in Tokyo after losing to brilliant Cuban Andy Cruz in the final – won the WBO lightweight title in just his thirteenth fight after beating Denys Berinchyk recently.</p>

<p>These days we live in a world of consumerism, instant gratification and the immediate fulfilment of a person's needs or desires.</p>

</ul>

<p>Therefore, Buatsi’s patient approach is a bit of an anomaly. The amiable Londoner is 19-0 (13) and has a perfect ledger so must wonder at times why he has attracted the censure he has in some circles?</p>

<p>Buatsi’s polished skills and consistency has made plenty of us long suspect he is the best of the British light-heavies, a quality if stagnant division that also contain Yarde, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/callum-smith-fire-still-there-joshua-buatsi-riyadh-season/ykh4h16wd919137995ys2xek6">Callum Smith</a>, Zach Parker and Willy Hutchinson.</p>

<p>Yet despite owning an Olympic medal and boxing regularly on some huge platforms, ‘JB’ is far from a household name at this point.</p>

<p>Indeed, the Croydon man’s best wins have come against Hutchinson, Dan Azeez and Craig Richards and he gets Liverpool’s Smith next on the stacked February 22 card in Riyadh.</p>

<h2>A fight to make and break careers</h2>

<p>Talked about for a while now, a light-heavyweight fight between Smith and Buatsi is finally happening and should be a corker. It’s a huge fight for both men and a win for either would kickstart some momentum in a division full of sharks at world level.</p>

<p>The heavy-handed Smith 30-2 (22) held the WBA and Ring magazine super-middleweight titles from 2018 to 2020 and will see this as maybe his last roll of the dice at the age of 34. Buatsi, a man of faith, will be hoping he can prevail in this intriguing all-British clash on foreign soil and in doing so put himself in line for a shot at the light-heavyweight world titles later this year.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-2-dubois-vs-parker-date-fight-card-how-to-watch/anran4842w6w15gmi43oz9x3r">Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol</a> are the main men at 175 and duke it out in a fascinating rematch in the main event on February 22. Buatsi is confident he could fight the winner of that one if he gets past Smith, while David Benavidez’s move to light-heavyweight has also added a layer of intrigue to an already stacked division at world level.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ziIrfyj2Qu4?si=BAE0OwvrSGWpbX-U" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>It’s fair to say that everything is on the line for all the combatants involved in this huge February bill in Saudi. Yet due to his plodding path to world glory thus far, defeat for Buatsi at this point is unthinkable.</p>

<p>Make no mistake, if he gets past Smith (and the bookies just about fancy him to) Buatsi would not shy away from fighting either of the top two at 175lbs. He is a serious individual. A serious fighter and one who has suffered for his art.</p>

<p>Suffering is a part of our human condition. It’s inevitable and generally considered to be a negative thing. We see suffering and we want to eliminate it. However, it’s suffering that is the furnace in which great athletes are formed.</p>

<p>If Buatsi can beat Smith and then fight and win a world title thereafter, his meandering, at times muddled road to glory will have been fully justified. And if it does happen, I’d like to think that somewhere, somehow Robert Frost might be looking down and smiling.</p>

<p>WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson was set to face Floyd Schofield on Saturday night. However, the latter was taken ill at the start of fight week and was withdrawn from the contest after a medical examination by the British Boxing Board of Control. </p>

<p>As a result, Stevenson will now face replacement Josh Padley before Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol go head-to-head once more for undisputed light heavyweight glory. </p>

Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker world title fight in doubt according to reports

<p>While the announcement that <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-news-roundup-latest-league-updates-from-monday-feb-17">Louis Rees-Zammit has re-signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars</a> has excited many, some are more pessimistic about his chances of establishing a long-term NFL career.</p>

<p>Unfairly high expectations aside, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news"><em>DAZN News</em></a> evaluates the Welshman's NFL journey so far and explains what we can realistically expect from him in the future.</p>

<h2>Developmental year</h2>

<p>Rees-Zammit's doubters often cite the example of <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/american-football/six-rugby-players-who-switched-to-the-nfl-and-how-they-fared/tcvfdk7qtgdz12eyu70gziah0">others who have tried and failed to make a similar cross-sport transition</a>.</p>

<p>His sceptics may feel justified after what appeared to be a disappointing rookie season. Rees-Zammit did not play in a regular-season game and was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the end of the year.</p>

<p>Rees-Zammit possesses the physical tools required of NFL skill players.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Louis Rees-Zammit ran a 4.44 at today’s NFL IPP Pro Day 😮‍💨 <a href="https://t.co/YH8tyABWjp">pic.twitter.com/YH8tyABWjp</a></p>
— NFL on DAZN (@NFLonDAZN) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLonDAZN/status/1770502374936682910?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 20, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>However, his dream of becoming an established NFL player was always going to depend on his ability to master the nuances of the game.</p>

<p>The difficulty of competing with players who are similarly gifted athletically and adopted the sport from an early age must not be overlooked.</p>

<p>With that in mind, rather than feeling disappointed with how Rees-Zammit's rookie year unfolded, perhaps the doubters should consider that spending the year on practice squads may have been precisely what he needed.</p>

<p>Spending the year on the sidelines learning from others around him was always likely to be Rees-Zammit's ceiling in year one.</p>

<h2>Year two outlook and beyond</h2>

<p>Re-signing with the Jaguars means Rees-Zammit will battle with 90 players for a spot on the Jaguars' 53-man roster for the NFL season, which kicks off in September.</p>

<p>While he is a long shot to remain among those 53 players on the active roster, there is every reason to believe Rees-Zammit can succeed.</p>

<p>Still only 24 years old, the difference between Rees-Zammit and others who have attempted similar transitions is that he has time on his side.</p>

<p>The NFL's announcement in 2024 that it would <a href="https://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/nfl-to-expand-practice-squad-to-include-one-international-player-for-all-32-clubs-in-2024/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">expand practice squads to include an extra spot for one international player</a> also helps Rees-Zammit's cause.</p>

<p>The additional practice squad spot, along with Rees-Zammit's youth and drive to succeed, boosts his chances of achieving his dream of becoming an NFL player.</p>

<p>These points were not lost on Rees-Zammit, who, even after being released by the Jaguars at the end of the season, <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/nfl/story/_/id/43901414/louis-rees-zammit-never-considered-rugby-return-jaguars-deal">never doubted his future in the sport</a>.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>"I didn't just leave rugby just to try it for a year. I think people would be pretty dumb to think that I was just going to kind of just leave straight away.</strong></em></p>

<p><em><strong>"I'm not ready to give this up and, and I don't think I ever will be. I'm very grateful for this opportunity from the Jags to allow me to sign another contract and give it another go."</strong></em></p>
</blockquote>

<p>Rees-Zammit must remain patient as he waits for his opportunity. Still, considering his dedicated mindset and ambition to succeed, we cannot rule out the possibility that he can succeed where others have failed.</p>

What does the future hold for Louis Rees-Zammit after re-signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars

<p>Promoter Eddie Hearn believes there is only one fight he wants next for Anthony Joshua, and that's for the world heavyweight title. </p>

<p>Hearn was speaking ahead of Saturday's Last Crescendo event, which will be broadcast live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing">DAZN PPV</a>, and Joshua will no doubt have a keen eye on one particular contest. </p>

<p>This being the IBF heavyweight title fight between <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/how-to-buy-daniel-dubois-vs-joseph-parker-in-the-uk/y8ztwxaafdr71up3lzhjl40up">Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker</a> which will precede the undisputed light heavyweight title rematch between <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol-2-fight-time-ringwalks-running-order-streaming-watch/1j0dl82c2d5j16q99g6ivt7bp">Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol</a>. </p>

</ul>

<p>Dubois made a successful defence of the IBF belt against Joshua in September, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/anthony-joshua-vs-daniel-dubois-live-updates-results-and-highlights/1sfa40hx545sg1bl3z6owwmx1p">producing a fifth round knockout win at a sold out Wembley Stadium</a>. </p>

<p>'Dynamite' will be hoping a victory over Parker can land him a shot at unified champion Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title. </p>

<p>However, Hearn is hoping he can disrupt these plans as he begins to plot Joshua's next move. </p>

<p>"Next week we’ll start discussions about what might be next," Hearn told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_NnB483yYw"><em>Boxing News</em></a>. </p>

<p>"Maybe, we don’t know, Parker will have a rematch clause if he wins, is there a mandatory? I have no idea.</p>

<p>"The preference will always be to fight for the world heavyweight title."</p>

Eddie Hearn teases major plan for Anthony Joshua's next fight

<p>Fresh off their win in Tuesday's top of the table clash in the <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/soccer/national-league-202425-schedule-kick-off-times-and-results/1ar1uotclb80a1wx8s0s7s97a6">National League</a>, Barnet forward Idris Kanu has heaped praise on Dean Brennan's game plan for the victory over York City. </p>

<p>The Bees extended their lead to seven points over Adam Hinshelwood's side with the 3-1 win, and speaking to Curly and Aaron McLean on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/welcome/nltv">DAZN's Multi-Match live</a>, Kanu put the win down to Brennan's tactics for the crunch clash. <br />
<br />
"We're obviously a pressing team, but we really pressed them on Tuesday so they didn't have any answers," Kanu said. <br />
<br />
"I think that's the best we've ever executed a game plan, to be fair. The gaffer came to us with it after the Solihull game, and we were thinking, 'Ok gaffer!'</p>

<p>"But then we worked on it on the Sunday, and he showed us some clips so we ended up executing it perfectly and it worked." </p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Read next I<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/soccer/national-league-games-this-weekend-promotion-hopefuls-look-to-bounce-back-to-keep-heat-on-barnet/hsnluxiol79g1qbcveewn46f7"> National League Games this weekend: Promotion hopefuls look to bounce back to keep heat on Barnet</a></strong></li>
</ul>

<p><br />
Kanu has worked with Brennan since his arrival at the club in 2022 and has hailed his current boss as not only being a top coach but for being as honest as they come - which has helped create such a bond at The Hive. <br />
<br />
"The gaffer is really demanding," the 25-year-old continues by saying. </p>

<p>"He says how it is, and is honest. He's probably the most honest man I've seen in football. He relates to the players really well and knows how to get the best out of his players." <br />
<br />
The win over York puts the club in pole position for automatic promotion as they look to return to the Football League for the first time since 2018. However, Kanu is cautious, and only admits the plan is for the club to reach a points goal, although has pointed to their solidity as a reason for their success this season. <br />
<br />
Adding: "We've got a point goal that we want to reach, so it's not about who we take three points from, it's just about getting those points and reaching that goal. If we get to that point, then we know it would have been a good season for sure. <br />
<br />
"In contrast to how we've been before, we used to concede a lot of goals. We might outscore some teams, but we'd concede goals. But now, we've conceded something like two goals in eight games and that's something as a team we are taking pride in.</p>

<p>"I don't think York had really any chances at our goal, other than their goal, and it's been like that for the last few weeks. So I feel like if we keep to being solid first, we've got the quality to score loads of goals." </p>
