FRANK WARREN may have white-washed Eddie Hearn in their battle of the stables in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
But the veteran promoter can now really strike a blow to Hearn's Matchroom if Daniel Dubois pulls off a mighty upset against Anthony Joshua at Wembley in September.
That fight is now likely to be made by the Saudi backers financing the sport after Dubois stopped Filip Hrgovic and Deontay Wilder was brutally stopped by Zhilei Zhang in the 5v5 event.
Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh still harboured dreams like many fans - that Wilder could reignite his career and finally face Joshua in a battle that's been brewing since 2018.
Yet the American should be sailing off into retirement now after he looked a hesitant wreck before he was floored by Chinese veteran Zhang in the fifth.
