'Game changer!' - Frank Warren hails latest Riyadh Season card with Artur Beterbiev, Dmitry Bivol and Daniel Dubois

'Game changer!' - Frank Warren hails latest Riyadh Season card with Artur Beterbiev, Dmitry Bivol and Daniel DuboisMark Robinson / Matchroom Boxing

Frank Warren has hailed Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo fight card as a "game changer" while pushing back against the rise of influencer boxing at the same time.

A blockbuster seven-bout event, headlined by Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol's undisputed light-heavyweight rematch, will take place at Kingdom Arena on February 22 next year.

Daniel Dubois will mount a defence of his IBF heavyweight championship versus Joseph Parker, while Shakur Stevenson will meet Floyd Schofield at lightweight too in Riyadh.

Speaking ahead of another blockbuster event to be held in Saudi Arabia, Queensberry boss Warren described it as a "spectacular fight card" that promises plenty for fans.

"I said at the time, when Riyadh Season got involved, this was going to be a game changer," he told talkSPORT. "But even I didn't realise what a game changer it was going to be.

"This card on the 22nd, it's going to be something special. Every fight on there is a magnificent fight. I've never seen a card like it. It's so spectacular."

Elsewhere, Warren also pushed back on the rise of influencer boxing, which has seen social media stars progress from amateur white-collar bouts to professional fights.

YouTuber Logan Paul defeated an aging Mike Tyson in an officially sanctioned bout in November, but the promoter is having no comparisons with what he sees as the real deal.

"The YouTubers and the old guys, that's not boxing," he added. "That's their idea of boxing, but that's not boxing at its best. This is boxing at its best. No-one should compare it."
