Matchroom Vs Queensberry Odds
In the boxing world, there simply won't be a bigger fight in 2024 than Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk. However, the Matchroom Vs Queensberry promotions card may be the best card that we have ever seen.
On June 1st, Saudi Arabia will host a series of bouts which pit some fantastic fighters from both Matchroom and Queensberry in a card that rivals the Day of Reckoning card which hosted both Anthony Joshua Vs Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder Vs Joseph Parker.
The main event of the evening is Dmitry Bivol Vs Artur Beterbiev, which sees two unbeaten fighters go toe-to-toe. However, outside of World title fights, you don't get bouts as exciting as the co-main event, which sees two knockout artists go head to head in what should be a complete slugfest as Deontay Wilder takes on Zhilei Zhang after both fighters suffered a loss to Joseph Parker last time out.
Otherwise, the rest of the card looks exceptional and almost every fight is a must-see fight.
Matchroom Vs Queensberry: Fight One Odds - Hutchinson vs. Richards
Willy Hutchinson recovered from his defeat to Lennox Clark in March 2021 and is unbeaten in four fights since, winning each in convincing fashion. He'll look to continue his climb back up the rankings against Craig Richards. Who himself recent gave Dmitry Bivol an excellent fight and fell short against the unbeaten Joshua Buatsi last time out.
Richards has the edge in the betting odds in what should be a fine example of British boxing as Scotland takes on England.
Matchroom Vs Queensberry: Fight Two Odds - Sheeraz vs. Williams
When two unbeaten fighters are announced to be going head to head, it looks guaranteed that we'll see an excellent fight, that's what is happening with Hamzah Sheeraz (19-0) and Austin Williams (16-0).
The two up-and-coming middleweights will likely be each other's hardest bout yet. In his last three fights, Sheeraz has finished his opponent in the first two rounds. Meanwhile, "Ammo" Austin Williams sits unbeaten with a lot of knockout victories and the American could cause a surprise against Hamzah Sheeraz who is the favourite in the odds.
Sheeraz was picked as the captain of Team Queensberry, meaning a victory will provide them double points in the Queensberry Vs Matchroom card.
Matchroom Vs Queensberry: Fight Three Odds - Ball vs. Ford
Two of the finest young boxers in the world go head to head in fight as Merseyside's Nick Ball takes on the American Raymond Ford. The Liverpudlian fighter drew his last fight against Rey Vargas who retained his title after the controversial draw. Vargas had the better of the opening rounds but Ball had the better of the latter stages and if anybody was going to win the fight, it was the Liverpool-based fighter.
Meanwhile, last time out, Raymond Ford won the vacant WBA Featherweight title with a 12th round knockout of Otabek Kholmatov. Ford was behind on the judges scorecards before the dramatic late winner but made history as just the fifteenth fighter in boxing history to win a world title when trailing on the judges scorecards going into the final round.
Matchroom Vs Queensberry: Fight Four Odds - Dubois vs. Hrgovic
If you believe the rumours, this won't be the first time that these two names have clashed, with the two apparently sparring a few years back and it didn't end well for Dubois. The two fighters have confirmed there is some truth in the stories from their responses but both claim they are much better than what they were when the two sparred.
The fight is due to be upgraded to an IBF title bout when the belt is relinquished by the winner of Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk.
Filip Hrgovic comes into the fight undefeated with a unanimous decision victory over Zhilei Zhang as his standout victory so far. Dubois, on the other hand, has a better portfolio of fighters faced but defeats to Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk have left man fans doubting the credentials of Dubois.
Matchroom Vs Queensberry: Fight Five Odds - Wilder Vs Zhang
Deontay Wilder Vs Zhilei Zhang is a fight where two of the biggest punchers in boxing go head-to-head in a true heavyweight fight. Both fighters had upset losses against Joseph Parker last time out but what you do have to say is that both fighters will take a lot of punches. When it comes to punch power, these are two of the best fighters in the world but their last outing showed that both are pushing the latter years of their careers.
Wilder Vs Joshua was likely the route that we were supposed to go down here but after Joshua beat Otto Wallin and Wilder lost to Parker, the two are moving in different directions and are unlikely to face off in the near future.

If the betting odds are to be believed, Eddie Hearn will win the battle of five fights against Frank Warren as Matchroom are favourites to win by three fights to two. Although, Matchroom will win what is regarded as the big fight on the card outside of the main event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It is certain to be a big night in the heavyweight division with four of the biggest names in the division all going head to head.
Is that wasn't enough, Beterbiev Vs Bivol is a clash that everybody has wanted to see in the light heavyweight division and with the Kingdom Arena, there truly isn't a better place to determine the Undisputed Light Heavyweight champion.
