In recent times, the world of boxing has been treated to some truly stacked fight cards, thanks in large part to the influx of money from Saudi Arabia. These events have provided fight fans with the bouts they have longed for and it seems this trend is only set to continue. The promise of exceptional value for money, lucrative fights for the athletes, and overall growth of the sport have become a reality. With the upcoming colossal card scheduled for August 3 in Los Angeles and talks of a highly anticipated Wembley card on September 21, boxing enthusiasts can’t help but be excited.
During an interview with IFL TV, Eddie Hearn tantalizingly hinted at the potential of the Wembley card set for September 21, dubbing it possibly as the best fight card the country has ever seen. The anticipation surrounding the press conference at the end of June is palpable, with speculations rife about the fights that will make the final cut for the event. Fans have been buzzing about potential matchups such as Anthony Joshua facing off against the likes of Daniel Dubois, Joseph Parker, or Zhilei Zhang, and other exciting bouts featuring top talents like Fabio Wardley, Naoya Inoue, Hamzah Sheeraz, and more.
If these fights do materialize, the Wembley card could potentially become one of the most exceptional boxing events to date. However, the excitement doesn’t stop there. The involvement of Saudi Arabia’s investors, particularly Turki Alalshikh, has opened up a world of possibilities for the sport. There are talks of a potential boxing league being established, bringing together top promoters to work collaboratively under one umbrella. This move could revolutionize the sport, offering fans a whole new level of entertainment and competition.
With the current state of boxing’s landscape, the future looks incredibly promising. The unprecedented support from Saudi investors and the vision of creating a unified boxing league point towards a positive trajectory for the sport. Fans can expect more stacked fight cards, bigger matchups, and a rejuvenation of the boxing scene on a global scale. The anticipation for the upcoming events is high, and the potential impact of these initiatives could reshape boxing as we know it, in a truly remarkable way.
