The judging panel appears to have already been approved by the teams of both boxers and the British Boxing Commission. The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which will feature four heavyweight championship belts, is scheduled for May 18 and will take place in Saudi Arabia.
In his last big fight in March this year, Mark Nelson stopped Liam Wilson's bout against Oscar Valdez in the seventh round. Despite his extensive experience, this will be Nelson's first time refereeing a world heavyweight title fight. Most of his work before has come in the lighter weight classes.
Of the three judges, only Craig Metcalfe has experience with one of the participants in Saturday's upcoming fight. In January 2018, he assessed the Ukrainian's fight with Mairis Briedis as a draw - 114-114. Two other judges posted a score of 115-113 in favor of Usyk, who eventually won by majority decision.
