Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will face off in a second bout after Bivol became the first man to take Beterbiev the distance.
The fight will be shown on DAZN with the Saudi event taking place from 4pm on Saturday, 22 February. You can sign up to watch it here.
Beterviev is the unbeaten fighter after the first meeting in October but both men are at the very top of the light-heavyweight division. The fight will see two of the best fighters of all time in the division meet and it is expected to be close.
Despite the CVs of the two fighters in the main event all of the drama out of the ring has been supplied by Daniel Dubois.
The British heavyweight missed the weigh in for his IBF title defence with illness and sensationally announced he would not be able to fight two days before the event.
Democratic Republic of Congo fighter Martin Bakole has stepped in last minute and could prove a tricky opponent for Parker. The 6ft 6-inch fighter has already appeared at Riyadh Season when he demolished Jared Anderson in August and this could be his shot at the big time.
It means there is extra drama and intrigue for one of the biggest fight nights of the year and fans can watch the entire seven-fight event. It costs £19.99 for a DAZN pass for the fight.
The action begins at 4pm and the main event ring walks are scheduled for 11pm on the night.
The undercard features a host of intriguing battles starting with British fighter Callum Smith versus Joshua Buatsi.
However, plenty of eyes will be on New Zealander Parker and his last minute match up with Bakole in an intriguing match up.
