The two heavyweights will meet on the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol undercard.

The boxing world finally learned the five fights which will take place in the first ever Queensberry vs. Matchroom event on June 1. 

These matchups will make up the undercard of the undisputed light heavyweight title clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

Two fighters set to feature on the bill are Zhilei Zhang and former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder who has been named as Matchroom's captain for the event. 

For both men, it's a chance to get their respective careers back on track after suffering recent losses to Joseph Parker, and speaking to the world's media following the announcement, Wilder claimed that a loss could bring an end to his boxing career. 

"I feel good. It's a blessing just to be back," Wilder said.

"I'm looking forward to the fight. I respect Zhang, he's a good fighter and I respect him for that. It's my time. I've been through a lot. I've had to regroup and get myself together.

"I'm at this point of time where I've narrowed it down and come the night of the fight we'll see if I've got it or not… My last stand, my last chance.

"I'm just ready to do what I'm known to do. To be the Wilder that I am."
