The Riyadh Season - Wembley Stadium edition has been announced and it promises to be a blockbuster night of fights.
London, England, will stage a Riyadh Season card, having put together some of the biggest fights in Saudi Arabia, including last month's undisputed showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Wembley Stadium will play host to Riyadh Season's second card away from the Middle East, with a card scheduled for August 3 in Los Angeles, California.
And a monstrous all-British showdown between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua for the IBF world heavyweight title will headline the stacked card.
Joshua will be aiming to become a three-time world heavyweight champion when he challenges for the IBF title.
