One of the best boxing cards ever will go down this Sat. (Feb. 22, 2025) inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as undisputed Light Heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev, will defend his titles against Dmitry Bivol in a rematch of their initial bout which took place four months ago. Beterbiev defeated Bivol via unanimous decision to become undisputed king, handing him the first loss of his career, in the process.
But that’s only a taste of what the “Fight Card Of The Century” has in store, as the lineup will feature a total of seven world title fights, including a Heavyweight co-main event between IBF Heavyweight champion, Daniel Dubois, defending against Joseph Parker, with the winner earning a showdown against undisputed king, Oleksandr Usyk. In further action, WBC lightweight champion, Shakur Stevenson, will take on Floyd Schofield, while WBC Middleweight champion, Carlos Adames, takes on undefeated (21-0) knockout artist, Hamzah Sheeraz.
With a star-studded lineup like that, one would think this DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) event would cost in the neighborhood of $100 to catch live. But that won’t be the case because Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, is staying true to his word to provide quality hand-to-hand violence at a reasonable cost to the everyday consumer, and will only set you back $25.99.
That’s a slight uptick from the cost of last year’s fight Heavyweight collision between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, which cost $19.99. Still, the price for one of the most stacked cards ever is one heck of a deal.
Rounding out the event will be WBC World Interim Super Welterweight champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr. facing Israil Madrimov, Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel going blow-for-blow for the vacant WBC interim heavyweight title, and WBO Interim Light Heavyweight champion, Joshua Buatsi, taking on British brawler, Callum Smith.
