Eddie Hearn vs Frank Warren fights: UK start time, fight card, TV and stream
Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren will pit their best fighters against each other in Saudi Arabia this coming weekend
Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren will go toe to toe this weekend as they pit their best fighters against each other in a unique tournament.
The rival promoters barely spoke until last year when Saudi Arabia's boxing chief Turki Alalshikh forced them to work together. Boxing fans have since been rewarded with some classic fights - and now the promoters will meet to decide who has the best stable. The event was due to be headlined by the undisputed light-heavyweight world title fight between Dmitrii Bivol and Artur Beterbiev but the latter pulled out injured earlier this month.
Now the biggest fights on the card involve the heavyweights with Daniel Dubois taking on Filip Hrgovic and Deontay Wilder taking on Zhilei Zhang. Here is everything you need to know about the weekend's fights...
What time are the fights on in the UK?
The fights will start at 7pm UK time on Saturday which means the main event will likely get underway at around 11pm. But as ever, all fight times are flexible and will depend on how long the undercard fights take co complete.

Quotes corner
Eddie Hearn : "The best sport stems from the greatest rivalries. And on June 1, I am confident Matchroom will reign supreme over Queensberry. I have assembled a team of elite world beaters who are ready to do the business. Losing isn’t an option. I’m sure this unprecedented five-versus-five will be the first of many duels with Frank Warren and his team - and may the best man win!"
Frank Warren : "The night of June 1 will mark a thrilling and spectacular return to Riyadh, where the pride and reputation of two companies will be at stake in the 5 vs 5 concept that neither promoter dares to contemplate losing! Thanks to the vision of H.E. Turki Alalshikh we can now look forward to unprecedented events such as this on a regular basis and nights at the Kingdom Arena are now an established and welcome fixture in the world boxing diary. Our five selected champions are ready to rule in Riyadh."
