Speaking on the Big Fight Weekend preview show, Rafael spoke on what could be next for Chamberlain, should he win on Saturday: “The main thing you should know about it is this. Mark Chamberlain is the favourite fighter of Turki Alalshikh. He is hand-picked to be on these cards, both in Saudi Arabia and this card here in Wembley, because he is Turki’s favourite fighter.”
Rafael continued: “Although this is not official, I am told by multiple sources that if Mark Chamberlain wins this fight, and all is well health wise that he will be on the Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk II undercard – and he will be challenging Denys Berinchyk for the WBO title.”
