# Eddie Hearn & Frank Warren Reveal Weights For Matchroom & Queensberry 5 v 5 Event

After months of anticipation, the weights have finally been revealed for the upcoming 5 v 5 event between [Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/hearn-and-warren-sign-for-5-v-5-fight-night/)

The long-awaited event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 1, on the same card [as the undisputed showdown between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/tarver-picks-artur-beterbiev-dmitry-bivol/)

Fans have been waiting to find out which weight divisions will be picked by Warren and Hearn for the event, and it has now been announced in a video [published on the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfGbMB-eNXM)

Frank Warren was first to announce one of the weight classes he has chosen for the card, and it is what is classed as the best division in boxing.

*“The weight. Heavyweight division. We’re very strong in the heavyweight division. We have a great roster of heavyweight fighters and it will be one of ours.”*

Eddie Hearn then responded as he selected the first weight division that he was allowed to choose.

*“I’m going with a slightly smaller weight, I’m going with the featherweight division. We have a number of champions at featherweight and have done historically for the last few years. Like Frank I feel that we’re very strong at 126lbs, and I’m confident that will be one on the scoreboard for Matchroom.”*

Warren then chose his second weight class, picking one that has plenty of history in the UK.

*“Traditionally the British middleweight division is the division, so it’s going to be the middleweights.”*

It was then left to Hearn to pick the final division that the two promoters were able to select.

*“Another fantastic division for British boxing, and we’re going to roll the dice with 175lbs, the light-heavyweight division. Hoping for a big domestic match-up.”*

The final weight class was then selected by Turki Al-Sheikh, who decided to choose a division that a fight would already take place for.

*“For me, number five, of course is the heavyweights. They know I love the heavyweights.”*

It means that the event will see two heavyweight fights, along with bouts in the light-heavyweight, middleweight and featherweight divisions.

Al-Sheikh also confirmed that fighters not currently signed to Matchroom and Queensberry are able to be used, [as Hearn referenced when revealing a ‘wildcard’ to Boxing Social earlier this week.](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/eddie-hearn-shock-twist-frank-warren/)

The fighters for the divisions will be revealed at a press conference in London in April, with current rumoured fights including [Deontay Wilder vs. Zhilei Zhang, and Filip Hrgovic vs. Daniel Dubois.](https://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_/id/39786120/sources-deontay-wilder-zhilei-zhang-finalizing-june-1-bout)
