Hearn Presents Rules for the 5x5 Tournament Between Matchroom and Queensberry

British promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed the structure of the 5x5 tournament proposed by Turki Al al-Sheikh between promotional companies Matchroom and Queensberry, likely to be held on the undercard of the Bivol vs. Beterbiev fight.

— Matchroom and Queensberry will each select two weight categories, while the fifth will be chosen by Turki Al al-Sheikh.

— The weigh-ins will be announced this week or early next week.

— Matchroom and Queensberry will announce their fighters for each category next week through a draw similar to the Champions League.

Recall, Turki Al al-Sheikh previously proposed a 5 vs. 5 tournament between the fighters of their promotional companies to Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, to which the officials immediately agreed.
