The card also sees an exciting WBC lightweight bout between Shakur Stevenson and William Zepeda. IBF mandatory challenger Hrgovic has been made to wait for his world-title shot, but a win over Dubois could ultimately prove enough for him to become champion. The bout forms part of the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5v5 card, with promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren each selecting five fighters to do battle and attempt to secure bragging rights in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A point will go to the winner of each fight, with two points if that victory comes by knockout. The winner of Dubois vs Parker was expected to fight unified champion Usyk next, with Dubois making clear his desire to exact revenge on the Ukrainian.
That is, of course, also true for Dubois, who will have taken confidence from his showing against Usyk, and that bout on the biggest stage should stand him in good stead in the years to come. Hrgovic has shown plenty of heart and an impressive chin, getting up off the canvas and taking plenty of punishment against Zhang before winning on the cards, and he will surely not fade in the way Miller did against Dubois. Dubois vs Hrgovic features on the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5v5 event, which takes place tonight, Saturday June 1, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Regardless of when or if that happens, whoever comes out on top on Saturday night is expected to face Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium later this year. Oleksandr Usyk seemingly does not care what happens between Joseph Parker and Martin Bakole this weekend, as he eyes a rematch with Daniel Dubois.

At a press conference on Thursday, New Zealand’s Parker said he would stay on Saturday’s card, regardless of who he would fight. Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk said on the night of the fight that he saw “several low blows” from Dubois. “Any decision made regarding this situation will be made under WBA rules and communicated in a timely and appropriate manner.” Usyk, who retained his WBA, WBO and IBF belts, was given nearly four minutes to compose himself after being hit on the band of his shorts. The British challenger suffered a ninth-round knockout in the fight in Wroclaw, Poland, on August 26th but said he was “cheated out of victory” by a low blow controversy when Usyk went down in the fifth.
Usyk stopped Dubois in 2023 after the Briton dropped the unbeaten southpaw with a low blow, which many believed was a legal body shot.
