yeah, no idea..i was trying to look for more info earlier when i found out the rumoured matchups, seems to good to be true. But then again the Saudis do have endless money. Here's hoping.

It does seem too good to be true. Warren said he wouldn't comment as nothings confirmed - he's involved cos if Dubois.
there's too many promoters who might not want their fighter to take a loss and it's only 6 and a half weeks since the rumours started last week, mind you with HWs no weight cutting needed, expect some fatties on the night.
But anything is possible if they throw enough money at it

They all want $$$$ so promotors will be happy. And this is also investment in a relationship with saudis. You cant expect big $$_and not accept risky fight.

If this card somehow pops off...it has to be Card of the Year and there's no competition! And that's coming from someone who's not even a big fan of HW boxing. If you throw guys like Opetaia and Bivol on there, even better!!
