Watching from their living rooms will be millions of admirers worldwide.
Those who bought the fight on TNT Sports, however, will have observed that Laura Woods isn’t hosting.
After an odd accident, the host who was most beloved by the audience has withdrawn.
Woods revealed on Friday night in a heartbreaking tweet that she is unable to attend the match due to a horrific injury she sustained while on vacation with her boyfriend, Adam Collard.

And when she started working with Carl Frampton, David Haye, and Steve Bunce to analyze the action in Riyadh, she was undoubtedly prepared to rumble in a striking green dress.
Becky has a long history in the sports industry, having starred for Premier League Today and ITV in addition to working for Uefa, Discovery Sports, and TNT.
Her love of sports, according to her LinkedIn page, “stems from her teenage years, where she competed as a High Board Diver, and swimmer to a County and National standard, an avid football fan.”
