The five weight classes in which fights will be contested in at the Matchroom vs Queensberry boxing supercard this summer have been revealed.

After years of speculation the respective heads of Britain's biggest boxing promotions, Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, have agreed to each put five fighters up to go head-to-head.

The event is scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia on June 1, and Warren told Mail Sport in January that he would be willing to make a £1million bet with Hearn that his stable will ultimately emerge victorious on the night.

To determine the fights set to be featured on the showdown, the two heads agreed to each select two weight classes.

Saudi advisor and boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh then selected the division for the fifth and final fight, which could prove to be the deciding bout.
