Boxing tonight: TV channel, live stream details, ring walk times and fight schedule

Artur Beterbiev will do battle with Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light-heavyweight title, and Chris Eubank Jr is set to make his long-awaited return against Polish fighter Kamil Szeremeta

Boxing is set to crown an undisputed light-heavyweight champion in a super showdown in Saudi Arabia tonight, as Artur Beterbiev takes on Dmitry Bivol in Riyadh.

This fight is set to be a blockbuster after it was initially postponed after Beterbiev suffered a ruptured meniscus in his knee during training that required surgery. This pushed the date of the fight from June until the autumn in Saudi Arabia.

Both Beterbiev and Bivol are Russian world champions, and are yet to lose a fight with 20-0 and 23-0 records respectively. All 20 of Beterbiev's wins are by KO, with Bivol having 12 KOs on his side.

Beterbiev, who fights out of Canada, holds the IBF world light-heavyweight title, as well as the WBC world light-heavyweight and WBO world light-heavyweight title too. Bivol holds the IBO title, and the 33-year-old has a real challenge on his hands against the 39-year-old fellow Russian fighter.

On the undercard, Chris Eubank Jr will be making his highly-anticipated return to boxing as he faces Kamil Szeremeta at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 35-year-old professional fighter, son of former world champion Chris Eubank, hasn't been seen in the ring since his technical KO victory over Liam Smith in September 2023. He had been beaten by Smith earlier on in the same year, and could be in for a tough test one year on from his most recent bout.

Upcoming opponent Szeremeta is currently undefeated in his last six encounters, with the 34-year-old boasting a 25-2-2 record. However, the Polish fighter's two defeats were by knockout - something that Eubank Jr is somewhat of a specialist in.

Eubank Jr has a boxing record of 33-3, with 24 of his wins coming by KO - meaning this middleweight fight is not one to be missed.

Artur Beterbiev told Sky Sports: "We'll see. I'm really interested to know that. I don't know. I always prepare for 12 rounds, for hard work. If I land, everyone can be knocked out. At the same time we're not thinking about a knockout, it's not the main thing in our team. It's not good if you prepare for a fight with one scenario. You need to be smarter."

Dmitry Bivol also told Sky Sports: "It's like I did everything right in my life. Because this is my goal. This is my dream and the dream could come true. Of course it will show me that I was doing right. The main thing is that I realise my potential. I have a plan, I want to reach this goal and all of it - that people will recognise me, people will remember me, I will get some belts, it's just a bonus.

"This is the two best light-heavyweight fighters in the world. It's the undisputed fight and it's two different boxing styles, two guys that don't know what a loss is. This fight would be on my wishlist to watch. All undisputed fights I want to watch, because it's what makes history. We have a lot of world championship fights, but undisputed fights we could count on our two hands."
