Saudi Arabia will play host to the biggest fight of the century, which has divided opinion among hardcore and casual boxing fans alike.
Fight fans worldwide are split over who will emerge from the Riyadh rumble victorious.

While the Ukrainian's supporters believe he'll bamboozle the recently lacklustre Fury with his slick southpaw style and footwork.
It's not just regular fight fans who are split over the outcome of the fight, with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment also umming and ahhing over who will win the desert dust-up...

Inside Tyson Fury's modest £550k house
TYSON FURY has millions in the bank - but he used to live in the most modest of houses.
Before upping sticks to a new £1.7million mansion in 2021, Fury, his wife Paris and their seven kids used to live in a modest house in Morecambe Bay.
The Fury clan resided in a five-bed and four-bed bathroom worth £550,000, according to Zoopla.
There's nothing super swanky about the Furys' former home, which is filled with homages to Tyson's achievements inside the ring.
And despite having enough money in the bank to live in the grandest of houses, The Gypsy King was all too happy to call the simple house home.
Speaking on a three-part ITV documentary in 2020, "People say to me, 'Why don't you live in California or America?' - why would I?
"Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame?
"I love it. I would never leave Morecambe. It's true beauty.
"If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid."
The Undertaker - WWE legend
He told the BBC: "I see Fury winning that one as well. I just don't think there's anybody right now [that can beat him].
"He's so good, he's on top of his game. I just don't see anybody that can beat him right now.

Lennox Lewis - former undisputed heavyweight champion
He told The Guardian: "It’s an interesting matchup but I always say if two guys have the same technical skill, the bigger fighter wins because he can force his size on the other guy.
"It’s happened before where the smaller guy won but, in this case, Tyson Fury’s got lots of different weapons in his arsenal.
"He has shown in the [three] fights with Deontay Wilder he is aggressive and moves forward well. Those fights really showed his skill, his talent, his ring generalship.
