Beterbiev vs. Bivol, Wardley vs. Clarke, more matches ranked

Saturday brings another stacked boxing card in Saudi Arabia, headlined by the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol matchup for the undisputed light heavyweight championship.

It’s a fight of rare quality, between two brilliant fighters in the latest ESPN pound-for-pound top 10 to crown the first four-belt light heavyweight world champion.

But there are more fights on the bill before Beterbiev faces Bivol, including title fights at cruiserweight and women’s featherweight.

ESPN ranks the five best fights on Saturday’s Riyadh Season bill.

No. 5: Skye Nicolson vs. Raven Chapman

Nicolson, the WBC featherweight champion, and Chapman (9-0, 2 KOs) will contest the first female fight on a Riyadh Season event in Saudi Arabia. Women’s boxing has not been part of the big-money Riyadh Season fight cards, which is hosting boxing’s biggest cards mostly in Saudi Arabia.

You get the feeling a good fight will help convince Turki Alalshikh, who controls lineups on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, to include more women’s boxing events on Riyadh Season events.

And Nicolson (11-0, 1 KO) vs. Chapman (9-0, 2 KOs) has the ingredients to be an enthralling encounter. Nicolson is great on her feet with slick boxing skills, while Chapman brings plenty of aggression.


No. 4: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Kamil Szeremeta

Eubank’s career has just never got going. He has blamed a string of promoters he has worked with over the years, but at 35, Eubank is running out of time to win a legitimate world title for the first time. Eubank (33-3, 24 KOs) has won interim and fringe belts, but never one of the four major titles. A shock fourth-round stoppage loss to Liam Smith last year was damaging, and he has not fought since avenging that loss just over a year ago.
