ANTHONY JOSHUA’S Wembley clash with Daniel Dubois has just gotten bigger – and fans think matchmaker Turki Alalshikh will definitely be “knighted”.

A stacked undercard has been announced after the Saudi chief brought together the veterans of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren.
HE is targeting a record attendance of 100,000 for the bout at Wembley, with the winner facing the winner of the rematch between Usyk and Tyson Fury in December.
Now Alalshikh has put the “icing on the cake” by adding an English rock ‘n’ roll icon to the Joshua vs. Dubois mix.
It has been confirmed that former Oasis star Liam Gallagher will perform before the main event at the national stadium.
The 51-year-old singer has been back on stage in recent months, but now his next big date following his tour has been finalised.
The singer is due to perform three songs at Wembley which have been described as ‘classics’.
And after what promised to be a spectacular night at the Riyadh season’s spectacle, boxing and Oasis fans united in welcoming Alalshikh.
And it left them dreaming of seeing a full Oasis reunion between Liam and his brother Noel, something many have wanted for years.

One joked: “Imagine Noel coming and joining him. Turkey would be knighted.”
Another wrote: “Big man Turkey will get Liam and Noel back together at this rate.”
A third said: “Just imagine if he’d paid enough money and sorted Liam and Noel out like he did with Frank and Eddie.”
While a fourth said: “If anyone can reunite the Oasis… it’s the Saudis.”
As well as a concert, two huge children’s parks will also be created around Wembley to create a family atmosphere.
In addition, there is an undercard available for boxing enthusiasts to enjoy throughout the evening.
