Somehow the guy figured out NBA cheat codes in real life.

Tomorrow morning is the best boxing card in a very, very long time. Watch it if you have the chance.

The card (independent rankings from the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board used)
Artur Beterbiev (c) v #1 Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed lineal/Ring/WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO/IBO 175 title
#2 Carlos Adames (c) v #4 Hamzah Sheeraz for the WBC 160 title
#3 Shakur Stevenson (c) v Josh Padley for the WBC 135 title
#4 Vergil Ortiz (c) v #5 Israil Madrimov for the WBC interim 154 title
#2 Joseph Parker (c) v #6 Martin Bakole for the WBO interim heavyweight title
#4 Zhilei Zhang v #5 Agit Kabayel for the vacant WBC interim heavyweight title
#3 Joshua Buatsi (c) v #8 Callum Smith for the WBO interim 175 title

Parker was supposed to challenge #1 Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight belt, but unfortunately Dubois withdrew at the last second due to an illness (the "illness" is speculated by me to be an offer for a title shot at lineal/Ring/WBA/WBC/WBO/IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch). But, thankfully, they managed to get the #6 heavyweight in the world to jump in and save the fight at the last second.

Beterbiev vs Bivol 1 was a classic that Beterbiev barely edged. Rematch should be fantastic.

For every fighter on the entire card besides Padley to be ranked in the top 8 of their respective divisions is absolutely insane. Even UFC couldn't put together a card this nuts and they have all their fighters under contract. Saudi blood money is behind this card, unfortunately, but at this point their money is funding the majority of combat sports across the board. Can't really avoid it if you like boxing, wrestling, or MMA.
