In any case, the rematch will take place and the stage will be repeated (Kingdom Arena), as the host of the evening has announced: “The rematch has been scheduled for December 21, 2024 during the Riyadh Season”advertisement Turki Alalshikhpresident of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia. “The world will once again witness another historic fight. Our commitment to boxing fans continues”.
