Beterbiev vs. Bivol will sway the fans this Saturday, October 12 at the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh. Interestingly, the 30,000-seater arena first opened its gates when Francis Ngannou realized his dream of donning pro boxing shoes against Tyson Fury. Afterward, it would host Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin, and other gigantic fights such as Joshua vs. Ngannou would soon follow. The boxing world most recently saw Oleksandr Usyk collect all the gold straps here. What’s more? The soccer club Al-Hilal has made the arena its home.
