Below, GOAL brings you everything you need to tune into the action live from anywhere in the world. We’re going for Hrgovic to overcome some early pressure, weathering a storm and taking Dubois’ best shots, before increasingly out-boxing the Briton in the later rounds and finding the stoppage. That is, of course, also true for Dubois, who will have taken confidence from his showing against Usyk, and that bout on the biggest stage should stand him in good stead in the years to come. A late win over Miller was an important one for Dubois, but it is difficult to read too much into a victory over an opponent weighing in at 23st 11lbs, who was unsurprisingly exhausted by the later rounds. Dubois vs Hrgovic features on the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5v5 event, which takes place tonight, Saturday June 1, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Regardless of when or if that happens, whoever comes out on top on Saturday night is expected to face Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium later this year.
