Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 vs historic Don King fights: Leading fight commentator gives his verdict
One of boxing’s biggest ever events is getting closer and the whole sporting world is excited about what might go down on Saturday night.
Live on DAZN PPV , a blockbuster night of fights are set to take place as several of the world’s leading fighters will all compete on the same show.
Headlined by the undisputed light heavyweight rematch featuring Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol , ‘The Last Crescendo’ will also play host to other numerous high-profile clashes.
Joseph Parker takes on Martin Bakole, and below that, in a fight that could have some relevance to the winner, Zhilei Zhang will tackle Agit Kabayel in a big heavyweight battle.
The show has drawn comparisons to events from previous years, especially from promoters like Don King and Bob Arum, who would regularly stack their cards with intriguing fights starring the sport’s biggest names.
Chris Mannix, who will be ringside for DAZN on Saturday night, has been around the sport for many years in various roles as a reporter and also as a ringside analyst.
He can recall many shows loaded with some of the best fighters about, but where does he rank ‘The Last Crescendo’ when it comes to ranking boxing’s biggest ever events?
“I’ve never been to a card as deep as this,” buzzed Mannix when speaking exclusively to DAZN News .
“Even if this was Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 along with six guys from my neighbourhood, that would still be a pretty good card.
“Having the heavyweight championship of the world as a co-main event, having Hamzah Sheeraz in the middle of the card, who could main event anywhere, and then you have Smith vs Buatsi opening the show. This is remarkable.
“Look, Don King had some big cards that I remember watching as a young man in the 1990s but they were four fights deep. This is seven fights deep with legitimate main events and you’re not going to get deeper than that.”
