    Cordina v Cacace

    Well, what an opportunity this is for Belfast's Anthony Cacace as he takes on Joe Cordina for the IBF super-featherweight title.

    Cacace comes into this one very much the underdog but he knows a win in Saudi will be life changing.

    "Joe's a two-time world champion and I'm a big underdog. I think he's very good but beatable. We're two men at the end of the day and going into a fight so anything can happen.

    "I've dreamt of this type of moment and it's finally here - I'm ready to rock.

    "I'm 35 and it's a must-win at this high level. It would be unbelievable [to win], it would change my whole life and my family's life."

    Cordina v Cacace

    IBF super-featherweight champion Joe Cordina will soon be taking on Belfast's Anthony Cacace and the Welshman isn't taking his favourite tag for granted.

    Joe Cordina to DAZN: "We're quite similar. We're both quite awkward and have a similar skillset. It's kind of last chance saloon so he's going to come out and give it everything."

    On possible KO: "I'm going to make sure I do everything in my power to come out the winner. I've got plenty more in the tank. I reckon if I land then I can get him out of there but I never look for it."

    On messages from fans: "Thank you for all of the messages, sorry I can't get back to you but I love you all."

    There is no doubt the Brits are filtering into the arena - I've just seen five blokes in matching skinny jeans.

    Kabayel v Sanchez

    These guys aren't messing about and this time it's heavyweight Agit Kabayel's turn to produce a stoppage.

    Frank Sanchez couldn't beat the count of the referee after being dropped twice in the seventh round.

    Some heavy hitting from Kabayel there!

    Tyson Fury is in the building!

    The WBC heavyweight champion has just made his way into the arena wearing a white and gold suit, trilby hat and sunglasses.

    He looked as calm as can be too, singing his merry little heart out.

    Oleksandr Usyk arrived shortly before, carrying a cuddly toy and wearing a tracksuit in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

    Gene Tunney. Like Usyk, a superb boxer with brains and footwork who ruled the division below and moved up when he was ready.

    Russell, Clarkston

    Correct, Russell!

    Tunney was the undisputed heavyweight champion between September 1926 and July 1928.

    Keep the guesses coming.

    I arrived at the Kingdom Arena at around 19:00 local time. It took us about an hour to find the media entrance. I somehow ended up in the fighters' dressing room. Considered playing knock and run on Joe Cordina's door but thought better of it.

    I can confirm that Cristiano Ronaldo is now in the building. He will be sat next to a very interested spectator in Anthony Joshua.

    Will we ever get to see Tyson Fury take on AJ?

    Steven Gerrard is already in the building and there’s rumours of some BIG name footballers on their way. We have seen a seat with ‘CR7’ on it…

    I have been told they're expecting a crowd of around 20,000 for the main event. When I got here a couple of hours ago it was eerily quiet. The noise levels have certainly picked up since and the arena is about a third full.

  20. Postpublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 18 May

    It's great this fight is happening, I'm sure many of you thought we'd never be lucky enough to see it but just imagine what it would be like at a rocking Wembley Stadium.

    However, Kal tells us there is expected to be a decent crowd in tonight.
