Bragging rights will be at stake.

It was announced at Anthony Joshua’s press conference with Francis Ngannou that there’ll be a show in 2024 that’ll see Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren finally go at it. 

The rival promoters, now working together to stage some of the biggest fights in the sport, will each choose five fighters to face off against each other with the promoter who gets the most wins being deemed the victor.

Contracts were officially signed on Thursday, with Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority (GEA) confirming the agreement between Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and Warren's Queensberry Promotions.

Here, DAZN looks at five fights that could happen on the show. 

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury 

One of boxing’s most anticipated showdowns would see British heavyweights, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, finally go at it following a lengthy rivalry that goes back over a decade. 

With Fury set to face Oleksandr Usyk for undisputed honours on February 17th, would a first defence against his countryman be a main event grand show that would see Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren putting their most prized assets against each other? 

Callum Smith vs. Anthony Yarde 

Both recently beaten by the outstanding Artur Beterbiev, who would come out on top in a thrilling 175lbs meeting between Callum Smith and Anthony Yarde? 

Both fighters have excellent power, and neither is afraid to let their hands go. This fight might not headline a show featuring Anthiny Joshua and Tyson Fury, but it’s certainly capable of stealing it. 

Diego Pacheco vs. Zach Parker 

Diego Pacheco and Zach Parker are both fighters with genuine world title aspirations and the winner of this fascinating showdown would be in a great position to challenge for one. 

Parker is eager to bounce back following a 2022 loss to John Ryder and what better way to do that then to defeat Pacheco, identified as one of the finest prospects in world boxing. 

Filip Hrgovic vs. Daniel Dubois 

With one heavyweight fight as main event, how about another one on the undercard to whet the appetite of the watching audience?

Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois are two contenders eager to prove that they’re capable of winning world titles. The winner of this one would be in an ideal position to challenge whoever comes out on top in the headline fight. 

Leigh Wood vs. Nick Ball 

Two of Britain’s most entertaining fighters kicking off the show with world featherweight title honours up for grabs would mean Leigh Wood and Nick Ball going at it. 

The pair have played their part in some memorable battles and with both possessing the power to end matters at any time, you couldn't take your eyes off this one.
