EXCLUSIVE
Boxing pundits Simon Jordan and Spencer Oliver have issued their full predictions for the '5 vs 5' boxing tournament.
Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn have selected five fighters each to go head-to-head in a huge boxing tournament on June 1, which will be headlined by Deontay Wilder's heavyweight comeback against Zhilei Zhang.

The 'Bronze Bomber' looked lacklustre in a points defeat against Joseph Parker in December, but has elected to return to the ring and try his luck for one last time against 'Big Bang'.
When appearing on talkSPORT show White & Jordan, both Oliver and Jordan were asked for their predictions for each fight.
Jordan said: "If we follow on from the bank-ability of Wilder, and follow on discussions we have had about Wilder not having much left, he is bankable rather than credible."
When asked his prediction, he replied: "Who cares?"

Oliver then picked Zhang to beat Wilder, who is himself looking to bounce back from a March defeat to Parker.
The card is stacked with talent in the other four fights, with Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic expected to meet for the IBF title, if the winner of Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 vacates it.
Both Jordan and Oliver unanimously picked Dubois to beat Hrgovic when prompted by White.
The next fight on the card sees Nick Ball challenge undefeated American Raymond Ford for his WBA featherweight world title.

Oliver and Jordan also unanimously backed Merseyside star Ball to get the job done on the night.
In the remaining two contests, Hamzah Sheeraz takes on Hearn's pick Ammo Williams, while Warren's Willy Hutchinson duels with Craig Richards in an all-British clash.

And both boxing analysts went on to declare that Sheeraz and Richards would get the upper hand, with the pair in unanimous agreement for the entire card.
It is a pivotal moment in the career of Wilder, who could choose to immediately retire if he loses for the fourth time in his professional career.

Spencer Oliver picks: Zhilei Zhang, Daniel Dubois, Nick Ball, Hamzah Sheeraz, Craig Richards
But a win could see him have one last opportunity to mix it at world level, and he believes could even secure him a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua.
It is an exciting dynamic in the heavyweight division, with Joshua waiting patiently to see who he could fight on the planned September date.
And Oliver went on to suggest Wilder could still be frozen out, with his predicted road-map seeing Joshua set to meet the winner of Hrgovic's clash with Dubois in the UK.
He added: "I reckon that Fury v Usyk will have completed the two-fight deal by the end of the year.
"Then I think the winner of the IBF vacant title fight between Dubois and Hrgovic will go on to box Joshua in September at Wembley Stadium with another 5 vs 5 on the undercard.

"By that time I think Fury and Usyk will no longer be tied up with what they are doing, and the winner of Joshua's September fight will take on the winner of Fury's clash with Usyk."
It is sure to be a huge night of action this summer, with genuine jeopardy in every single showdown on the card.
