Bivol vs Beterbiev penned in

Dmitry Bivol will return to Riyadh for a mouth-watering light-heavyweight undisputed showdown with kingpin Artur Beterbiev on October 12 following a clinical stoppage victory against brave challenger Malik Zinad.

Bivol, the WBA and IBO champion, was due to face unified WBC, WBO and IBF champion Beterbiev before the latter was forced to withdraw due to injury.

Zhang on his Wilder win

“I would like to thank every friend who came here over the world and fans in China, it is midnight there and you are watching me,” he said.

“I lost to [Joseph] Parker, it was a fair loss. He was the better man that night. I’ve learned since then. As long as the bell doesn’t ring, stay focussed.

“I have to pretend Wilder didn’t have a right hand and I successfully took it away.

“Wilder punches hard, I give him a lot of respect.”

Good afternoon!

What a night in Saudi Arabia where Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions dominated Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Sport to win the inagural 5v5 in a landslide.

Warren’s boys won all five fights – three of those via stoppage – to leave Hearn licking his wounds.

Daniel Dubois put himself into world title contention, and a possible fight with Anthony Joshua, while Deontay Wilder is now facing calls to retire after a brutal, poor defeat to Zhilei Zhang.

We’ll have all the reaction and fallout from a brilliant night of boxing. Full results were:

• Zhilie Zhang DEF. Deontay Wilder KO
• Daniel Dubois DEF. Filip Hrgovic TKO
• Hamzah Sheeraz DEF. Ammo Williams TKO
• Nick Ball DEF. Raymond Ford
• Willy Hutchinson DEF. Craig Richards

Froch calls for Wilder to retire

Former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has urged Deontay Wilder to hang up his gloves following his bruising defeat to Zhilei Zhang.

Speaking on his YouTube channel,Froch on Fighting, the 'Cobra' said the former WBC heavyweight champion's days as a feared knockout artist appear to be over.

“Wilder now has to be finished," Froch said.

"He got flattened by Zhang and I think that has to be the end of his career.

"He looked a shadow of his former self.”

Super Sheeraz

Queensbury skipper Hamzah Sheeraz put on a masterclass to bloody, bruise, floor and stop Matchroom's Ammo Williams.

Ilford ace Sheeraz’s piston-like jab kept poking at Williams' right eye and it was closing through swelling by the seventh round.

A vicious right hook by Sheeraz left the American dazed and confused, at which point referee Mark Lyson dived in to put an end to the contest with a well-timed stoppage.

Queensberry 10 Matchroom 0

Well, that makes it a whitewash for Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions in the 5v5 against Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport.

The event ends with a 10-0 score and Warren is the winner of five fights out of fight and a £3MILLION bet with his rival.

Remember, each win was worth a point but Queensberry earned three bonus points as Zhilei Zhang, Daniel Dubois and Hamzah Sheeraz scored KO wins.

Sheeraz also earned another couple of bonus points as he was the Queensberry team captain.

Full results:

• Zhilei Zhang DEF. Deontay Wilder KO
• Daniel Dubois DEF. Filip Hrgovic TKO
• Hamzah Sheeraz DEF. Ammo Williams TKO
• Nick Ball DEF. Raymond Ford
• Willy Hutchinson DEF. Craig Richards

Zhilei Zhang BEATS Deontay Wilder by KO

WOW! That was an absolutely brutal KO by Zhilei Zhang.

Zhang lands one right on Wilder's nose and, for some reason, the American turns around to look at the ref.

As he turns Zhang throws his full force into a nasty right hand that absolutely flattens Wilder.

The ref gave Wilder a chance to beat the count but, truthfully, he looked like he was happy to have a way out of that one.

Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang (Round 5)

Finally, Wilder wakes up a bit and throws a couple of wild right hands with some success.

It didn't seem to do any damage to his opponent but at least it's a bit of activity and aggression. Wilder is clearly looking for that perfect knockout but it doesn't come.

Then all of a sudden Zhang lands some big shots and the ref waves it off!

What a win for the Chinese star!
