The upcoming match on March 8th at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, presents a thrilling contest as the boxing world anticipates a heavyweight showdown broadcast live on DAZN PPV and PPV.com. The fight features a notable pairing: a former two-time heavyweight champion against a former UFC heavyweight champion making significant strides in professional boxing. The latter made an impressive debut against the WBC and lineal world heavyweight champion last October, showcasing a formidable performance that nearly clinched him a victory, highlighted by a stunning counter that floored his opponent in the third round. Despite the bout concluding with a split decision favoring the defending champion, many believe the challenger was the rightful winner.
On the other side, the former unified heavyweight champion has been on a path of redemption following a loss in 2022. Unlike the trend among top heavyweights, he has maintained an active presence in the ring, securing a winning streak through three fights within the last year. His journey back to prominence included unanimous decision victories and stoppages that underscored his dominance and tactical prowess in the ring.
