Two of boxing’s pound-for-pound best will battle for lightweight supremacy as Devin Haney defends his undisputed crown against Ukraine’s three-division world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko. In this world championship doubleheader, Shakur Stevenson will attempt to become a three-division world champion when he takes on Edwin De Los Santos.

Former two time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will look to re-assert himself as a top heavyweight contender when he returns to the ring against American Jermaine Franklin.
That is, of course, also true for Dubois, who will have taken confidence from his showing against Usyk, and that bout on the biggest stage should stand him in good stead in the years to come. Hrgovic has shown plenty of heart and an impressive chin, getting up off the canvas and taking plenty of punishment against Zhang before winning on the cards, and he will surely not fade in the way Miller did against Dubois. Dubois vs Hrgovic features on the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5v5 event, which takes place tonight, Saturday June 1, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Tim Tszyu makes his highly anticipated return to the ring as he looks to push himself back into world title contention against Joey Spencer. This will be a very different test, even if it is arguably the toughest of Hrgovic’s career. The 31-year-old is unbeaten but it is not a particularly stacked resume, with wins over Zhang, Eric Molina and Demsey McKean the most notable on his professional record. Hrgovic has fought just three times since the end of 2021, with his last bout a stoppage win over Mark de Mori inside a round. That took the 31-year-old’s record to 17-0 with 14 wins inside the distance, but he is perhaps fortunate to still be unbeaten after edging a controversial points decision against Zhilei Zhang in 2022.
