One of the biggest boxing cards of the year will unfold this morning (Sat., Feb. 22, 2025) LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol collide in a long-awaited rematch for the undisputed light heavyweight crown.
Luckily, the action won’t stop there. Despite IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois pulling out of his fight with Joseph Parker earlier this week due to illness, the undercard is still pretty stacked. Parker will now face last-second replacement, Martin Bakole, who has proven knockout power and is ready to shock the world with less than two days to prepare.
Also in action will be undefeated WBC lightweight champion, Shakur Stevenson, who will fight late-replacement Josh Padley on the undercard. There will also be a heavyweight clash between Chinese knockout artist Zhilei Zhang and undefeated German tank Agit Kabayel.
Before all of that goes down on DAZN PPV beginning at 11 a.m. ET, a collection of “Prelims” fights will unfold LIVE and FREE in the above video player starting at 9:30 a.m. ET. It will be a nice prelude to Saturday’s early action from Saudi Arabia.
