Welcome to the Ring of Fire: A Night of Unforgettable Fights
Get ready for the biggest boxing event of the year! His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), has announced an electrifying undercard for the highly-anticipated ‘Ring of Fire’ event. This event will feature the first undisputed heavyweight clash of the 21st century between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, along with two other world title fights.
The ‘Ring of Fire’ will take place on Saturday, May 18 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, and is a part of the Riyadh Calendar schedule. With unprecedented interest from around the world, this event is set to be a night of unforgettable fights.
World Title Fights Galore
The undefeated Australian Jai Opetaia, who triumphed against Ellis Zorro at the ‘Day of Reckoning’ in December, will take on three-time cruiserweight world champion Mairis Briedis for the IBF world championship and Ring Magazine belt in a highly-anticipated rematch. Their first encounter in July 2022 was an exhilarating one, with Opetaia claiming the belts by defeating the celebrated Latvian fighter.
But that’s not all. Undefeated Welsh Olympian Joe Cordina will defend his IBF world super featherweight championship against IBO title holder, Northern Irishman Anthony Cacare. And the heavyweight theme will be further bolstered by the unbeaten German star Agit Kabayel going up against unbeaten Cuban Frank Sanchez in a WBC Final Eliminator, both returning to Riyadh after their knockout victories on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ card in December.
More Exciting Fights to Look Forward To
But the action doesn’t stop there. UK lightweight sensation Mark Chamberlain, who was a major hit at ‘Knockout Chaos’ in March, will be back in The Kingdom to face the dangerous Nigerian Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab. And in another significant attraction, former long-standing light heavyweight world champion Sergey Kovalev will go up against the undefeated Robin Sirwan Safar at cruiserweight.
And let’s not forget about the young heavyweight star Moses Itauma, the World Amateur champion, who is tipped to become the future face of boxing’s marquee division. He will be taking on Ilja Mezencev in his ninth professional fight at just 19 years old. Plus, New Zealand Olympian David Nyika will face Michael Seitz at cruiserweight, and English featherweight Isaac Lowe will be matched with Hasibullah Ahmadi.
