Similar to previous cards including Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, as well as Anthony Joshua’s fight with “The Predator”, promotions filmed an exciting five-minute trailer to promote the fight.
And it features team leaders Hearn and Warren, who participate in a Western-style showdown with cards revealing exactly who each fighter they’ve chosen is.
It featured the promoters portraying their fighters, with hilarious clips of Nick Ball and his rival on the night Raymond Ford first showed off their skills.
Wilder and Zhang will next be portrayed, with the “Bronze Bomber” notably throwing a character down some steps, in a frightening display of his signature power.
Willy Hutchinson and Craig Richards also feature, with Hamzah Sheeraz and Ammo Williams then featured in the next two picks.
Finally, Warren heavyweights Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic are billed as the final protagonists, as they are expected to meet for the vacant IBF title once the winner of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk vacates the belt.
Fans were stunned by the incredibly produced trailer, with one writing: “This is by far the best boxing trailer ever, buzzing!”

One even suggested: “It’s like a Guy Ritchie movie, what’s going on?”
One fan claimed it was a wider victory for boxing, adding: “It’s classy, boxing back on top where it belongs!”
The final praise read: “This video is so cool, good job!”
Even though one of them was keen to spoil the party, he concluded: “There’s really no need for this, haha.”
British boxing’s two heavyweights have ended their rivalry and are leading the new wave of sweet science in the Middle East.
Their historic tie-up will see the mentioned fighters face off in a tournament format, with points offered to teams Queensberry and Matchroom based on results.
In the biggest surprise of the evening, heavyweight Wilder teams up with Hearn, with whom he feuded for several years after his planned showdown with Joshua fell through.
The card will be headlined by the undisputed light heavyweight world title clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
