Promotional companies Matchroom, led by Eddie Hearn, and Queensberry, under Frank Warren, are planning to host the second 5 vs 5 tournament.

Promoter Hearn revealed this information, stating that the second installment of the showdown will take place in October or November. The venue will be either Saudi Arabia or the United Kingdom.

"The concept has proven effective. I'm confident that the second tournament will be even grander. We'll come back for a rematch.

Queensberry presented fights that Matchroom had no chance of winning, and vice versa. We could have chosen Joshua, Andy Cruz, and Katie Taylor, but that's beside the point. We have no idea who will win this battle," said Hearn.

Last weekend, Hearn's team suffered a defeat against Queensberry with a score of 10-0, and all five of his fighters were defeated in Riyadh.

The main event of the boxing evening was a heavyweight bout (over 90.7 kg) between Zhang Zhilei from China and American Deontay Wilder. The Chinese boxer secured a convincing victory.
