How to observe Frank Warren vs Eddie Hearn 5v5 fights in UK on TV and dwell stream

Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn have been rivals for over a decade but they’ve put their differences aside to put on this weekend’s 5v5 event in Saudi Arabia.

But they weren’t always on speaking terms like they are now and spent years striking verbal blows from afar as fights between their promotional companies fell by the wayside.

Now they finally pit their stables together so Daily Star Sport gives you all the details on how to watch Saturday night’s card, the timings, the fights and how the 5v5 will work.

What UK time is the 5v5 card?

The TV broadcasts start at 7pm BST and there are six fights on the card. The five bouts in the 5v5 event and a WBA light-heavyweight clash between Dmitry Bivol and Malik Zinad. That means there is a lot to get through so get those energy drinks and coffees ready for a late night. The first bout is due to be at 7.15pm BST – that will be 9.15pm in Saudi Arabia – with the main event not looking like it will start until around midnight unless there are a lot of stoppages in the bouts.

How 5v5 works

This is the first event of its kind. Both Warren and Hearn have picked five fighters in different weight classes to face each other.

They have also selected one captain each for their Queensberry and Matchroom teams. The points are distributed as follows:

Win on the scorecards: 1 point

Win by knockout: 2 points

Draw: 0 points

Captain: Points double
