Pubs will potentially have the chance to gain extra footfall on the night before Christmas Eve when a huge night of boxing can be screened.

The ‘Day of Reckoning’ will see a double-headed main event when former two-time Unified World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua goes up against Otto Wallin while in the other co-main event, former WBO World Champion Joseph Parker takes on the former WBC world title holder Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder.

The action takes place on Saturday 23 December, as part of Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia so the action is likely to take place at reasonable hour for UK and Ireland pubs and clubs, and is live on TNT Sports Box Office in partnership with sports streaming service DAZN.

Boxing undercard

Also, included on the bill, if you are looking to draw customers in and keep them glued to your pub or club, recent world title challenger Daniel Dubois will bid to put his name back up in lights when he enters into a battle of the giants against Big Baby Jarrell Miller and IBF No.1 contender Filip Hrgovic fights Mark De Mori in another heavyweight shootout.

WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol will make an 11th defence of his title against Lyndon Arthur while IBF World cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia will take on Unbeaten British Cruiserweight Ellis Zorro.

Back with the heavyweights, and Arslanbek Makhmudov will face the European champion Agit Kabayel with top heavyweight contender Frank Sanchez closing in on a world title shot if he can overcome Junior Fa.
