Matchroom vs Queensberry 5v5 LIVE! Boxing updates and latest results
A big night of boxing is coming up in Saudi Arabia with Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang leading the way. This event will introduce a new team competition at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, where Oleksandr Usyk recently defeated Tyson Fury. Matchroom and Queensberry will each put forward their best boxers to compete in five fights across four weight classes. Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, who were once rivals, will see more than just bragging rights on the line during this event.
Prior to the Wilder and Zhang's crucial match, Daniel Dubois will go head-to-head with Filip Hrgovic in a fight for the IBF interim heavyweight title. Hamzah Sheeraz will also face off against Austin 'Ammo' Williams in order to become the final eliminator for the WBC middleweight championship title. Nick Ball was able to outscore Raymond Ford, ultimately earning him the WBA featherweight champion title and Queensberry had an impressive 1-0 record as Willy Hutchinson dominated over Craig Richards in their opening upset.
In this event, fighters can earn either two points for taking down their opponent or one point for winning based on the judges' scores. The team captains, Wilder and Sheeraz, have the opportunity to earn double points. Additionally, Dmitry Bivol will be defending his WBA light-heavyweight title against Malik Zinad, following the delay of his match against Artur Beterbiev.

The most recent updates on the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5v5 event.
In other words, if Williams is defeated and Sheeraz obtains double points, it would lead to Queensberry having a 6-0 lead with just two fights remaining. This is the worst possible outcome for Matchroom.
If I have calculated correctly, they would only have the option to tie the game if Filip Hrgovic manages to knock out Daniel Dubois and team captain Deontay Wilder does the same to Zhilei Zhang, earning them double points.
Get Ready For Hamzah Sheeraz Vs Austin Williams!
There is currently a significant amount of pressure on Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams to kickstart Matchroom's performance tonight. This is especially true because Hamzah Sheeraz, his opponent, is leading the Queensberry team and has the ability to earn his team twice the amount of points.
This is yet another clash that has the potential to be explosive, as it features two skilled middleweight contenders who have yet to taste defeat.
Once more, the WBC Silver championship is up for grabs. Moreover, this is a conclusive showdown to determine the winner who will challenge the Dominican boxing champion, Carlos Adames, for the complete WBC middleweight world title.
It is highly likely that Ford will seek a prompt reconsideration with Vargas as he aims to bring together the division.
Warren is very happy and proud of his team after Queensberry wins two matches in a row.
According to Hearn, the fight was closely contested, but he believed that Ford did enough to come out on top.
There was a great deal of admiration between the combatants, as Ford announced his intention to move up to the super-featherweight division, weighing in at 130 pounds.
Nick Ball Claims WBA Featherweight Title By Defeating Raymond Ford
"Ford scores 115 while Ball scores 113, resulting in a close game with a score of 115-113. The winning team is Ball with a score of 115-113."
Nick Ball has just become the new featherweight champion of the world for WBA!
Based on tonight's display and his previous contentious tie with Rey Vargas in March, he undoubtedly earned this victory.
He deserves to be the champion in all categories.
It's two victories in favor of Queensberry, which Eddie Hearn had anticipated winning, with a score of 2-0 after two fights.
You don't have to feel stressed, Ammo Williams...

Ball picked up the pace in the ninth round and started throwing rapid combinations while getting up close to his opponent, causing visible bruising.
He has been continuously exposed to Ford's elegant uppercut throughout the entire night.
