# Shock Heavyweight Title Fight Reported For Matchroom vs. Queensberry 5 On 5 Event

Following the announcement of the weights for the Matchroom vs. Queensberry 5 On 5 event in Saudi Arabia this summer, there are now rumours a shock heavyweight title fight could be one of the contests.

The headline fight on the card is already confirmed and will see a much anticipated light heavyweight unification fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, who is the only champion in boxing to have kept up a 100% knockout ratio.

[Yesterday the weights were revealed after Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn and Queensberry’s Frank Warren Made their picks, selecting middleweight, featherweight, light heavyweight and two fights in the heavyweight division.](https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/5-vs-5-weights-confirmed-for-matchroom-vs-queensberry-fight-night/18c9jmjcycm7b1gadb9psrcloi)

[Now, per a message posted on X by boxing journalist Dan Rafael,](https://twitter.com/DanRafael1/status/1772433665668096330?t=_lT_X-h-6hDiHKOPq-_IJA&s=19) some of the fighters might well be close to be announced too.

*“Per sources: IF 5 on 5 bouts being worked on are finalized (they’re not yet) this what June 1 Beterbiev-Bivol card looks like: Wilder-Zhang, Hrgovic-Dubois (vacant IBF heavy), Ray Ford-Nick Ball (WBA 126), Ammo Williams-Hamzah Sheeraz (160), Craig Richards-Willy Hutchinson (175).”*

[Despite this prediction, yesterday Matchroom fighter Ray Ford announced he will not be on the card as he is not out until July.](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/world-champion-not-on-matchroom-queensberry/)

What it does mean is that a new heavyweight world champion could be crowned as Brit Daniel Dubois, fresh off the back of a big win over Jarrell Miller back in December, gets a second chance to become a belt holder.

He fell short in his first attempt against Oleksandr Usyk last August. His opponent could be Fillip Hrgovic, the big Croatian who got a straightforward win over Mark De Mori in his last contest.
