Everything you need to know as two of boxing's hardest-hitting heavyweights, Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel, get set to contest an enthralling WBC 'interim' heavyweight title showdown on Riyadh Season's 'The Last Crescendo' Riyadh Season bill on Saturday 22nd February, 2025.
Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel are pencilled in to collide as part of the mammoth 'Last Crescedo' Riyadh Season bill of boxing on Saturday 22nd February, 2025.
Zhilei Zhang v Agit Kabayel is expected to kick-off the blockbuster fight card in Saudi Arabia, with a likely 17:00 (GMT) start time being mooted for the heavyweight showdown.
The full Riyadh Season staged event, including Zhilei Zhang v Agit Kabayel, will take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The state-of-the-art, purpose-built venue has already housed some of boxing's biggest fights of all time and is set to house the upcoming Oleksandr Usyk v Tyson Fury 2 event.
Zhilei Zhang v Agit Kabayel will be screened live on TNT Sports Box Office, Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN PPV in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Riyadh Season's Turki Alalshikh has confirmed that the pay-per-view price for the full fight card on 22nd February, 2025, which includes Zhilei Zhang v Agit Kabayel, will cost no more than £19.99 in the United Kingdom.
Posting on social media, the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority said: "We want the fans be happy and enjoy it. Let's get boxing great again."
The WBO have sanctioned the fight for their currently vacant 'interim' heavyweight title - meaning the winner would be in-line for a shot at the full championship strap currently held by Oleksandr Usyk.
