SAUDI ARABIA wants to land two huge fights this year as they aim to secure a deal for a long-awaited welterweight clash between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford.

Saudi are completely out of the running for Tyson Fury against Oleksandr Usyk, which is in the final stages of discussions for an April 29 date at Wembley Stadium.

The Middle East nation was desperate to host the undisputed heavyweight title bout but it was unable to deliver a date this side of the summer.
