Main Event Ringwalks – Start Times

• 🇺🇸 USA (ET): Saturday, May 3 – 11:00 PM

• 🇺🇸 USA (PT): Saturday, May 3 – 8:00 PM

• 🇬🇧 UK (BST): Sunday, May 4 – 4:00 AM

• 🇸🇦 Saudi (KSA): Sunday, May 4 – 6:00 AM

• 🇦🇺 Australia (AEST): Sunday, May 4 – 1:00 PM

That’s right, 4-f—ing-AM. What did UK fans do to deserve this? Every time there’s a big Saudi card, they are up looking like zombies while the Yanks kick back with beers and the Aussies smash meat pies in broad daylight.

Undercard?

• Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Surace
  Munguia doesn’t do chess. He does bombs. Expect violence.

• Martin Bakole vs. Efe Ajagba
  Two human refrigerators throwing bricks. It’ll be ugly, but you won’t look away.

• Brayan Leon vs. Aaron Rocha Guerrero
  Six fights, six KOs — somebody’s getting sparked.

• Marco Verde vs. Michel Galvan Polina
  Verde’s debut. Galvan? Walking target practice.

•  Badou Jack vs. Ryan Rozicki – Jack’s still clinging on. Washed up and now more famous for posting antisemitic drivel on social media than anything he’s done in the ring the past five years. Shouldn’t even be on the card, let alone in a title fight.

Cinco de Mayo In Saudi Arabia

Canelo Alvarez, Mexico’s biggest boxing icon, defending his undisputed crown on Cinco de Mayo weekend… but not in Vegas. Not in Guadalajara. Not even in L.A. Nah—this one’s happening in  Riyadh.

The country doesn’t even celebrate it. You’re not getting mariachi bands, no tequila, no street parades—just oil money and LED billboards. It’s like throwing a St. Paddy’s Day rave in North Korea. Makes zero sense, but here we are.

And while Canelo’s got every right to chase the big paydays, let’s not pretend this doesn’t feel weird. Cinco de Mayo’s meant to be loud, rowdy, full of pride and chaos. Instead, we’re getting it in a hyper-lit mega dome surrounded by sand and silence.

What’s next? 4th of July in Iran?Joshua vs. Fury on Christmas Eve in a Tesco car park?

Boxing’s gone global, fine. But don’t lie—this ain’t Cinco de Mayo. It’s May 3rd in Riyadh dressed up in red, white and green with a few sombreros thrown around for the cameras.

British Fans: The Most Loyal (and Abused) Fanbase on Earth

Let’s face it — British boxing fans are absolute maniacs.
Saudi card? 4AM. Vegas? 5AM. Tokyo? 7AM. Doesn’t matter. They’re there — pints in hand, screaming at DAZN to stop freezing, fists pumping at their TV in the dark.

May 3rd, they’ll do it again. Sleep-deprived, buzzing on beer and caffeine, ready to watch Canelo turn Scull’s ribcage into pulp.

So here’s the drill:

4AM or not, Brits will suffer through it, every time. That’s what proper fight fans do. Sleep’s for casuals. This is boxing. This is war.

Let’s have it. See you at 4AM, you lunatics!
