UFC megastar Conor McGregor is jetting out to Saudi Arabia to attend tonight’s blockbuster ‘Day of Reckoning’ event.
The epic card is co-headlined by heavyweight fighters Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, while a host of other top names will also be in action.
AJ will take on Swede Otto Wallin while the Bronze Bomber is facing Joseph Parker.
And should Joshua and Wilder both emerge victorious as expected, then they look set to lock horns in the Middle East early next year.
Meanwhile, Brit heavyweight Daniel Dubois will battle Jarrell Miller with tensions already high after an explosive weigh-in yesterday.
Dmitry Bivol meets Lyndon Arthur, Jei Opetaia fights Ellis Zorro and Agit Kabayel will be looking to shock the world and beat Arslanbek Makhmudov elsewhere on the bumper card.
