Promoter hints at another big Saudi Arabia fight nightMark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
There could be more high profile fights in 2024 in Saudi Arabia.

Frank Warren is planning to put on another massive boxing card in Saudi Arabia next year.

Warren, along with Eddie Hearn, was the main promoter involved with the Day of Reckoning event on December 23, which saw Daniel Dubois, Dmitry Bivol, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and more fight on the same card in Riyadh.

Warren’s fighter Dubois did well to defeat Jarrell Miller in one of the fights between the two main events, while Wilder fell short against Joseph Parker, which threw a potential fight with Joshua into doubt.

Speaking to Talksport , Warren said that there would be an announcement next month not just for the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk undisputed clash, but for another fight card in March.

He said: “We are working on them [other fights] and there will be a press conference early in January to announce the undercard for Tyson’s show and also what is happening in March.”

He added: “It’ll be very interesting, that’s for sure. It’ll be a big fight.

“This whole thing has been a game changer. That was the phrase I used from the beginning with Tyson vs [Francis] Ngannou. I just felt this was gonna lead to something special, and the last show was special.

“The next one on the [February] 17th is very, very special with all the titles on the line. Four belts on the line, that’s going to be magnificent.

“The other guys have got to keep winning, to keep in the running to fight the winner down the road.”
