1 minute Alalshikh has played a significant role in revitalising boxing by funding major fights in Saudi.
Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi boxing chief, has shared three ideal fights he aims to facilitate. As a notable political figure, Alalshikh has played a significant role in revitalising boxing by funding major fights.
During a Reddit "Ask Me Anything Q&A," he shared the three matchups he is most eager to organise:
- Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury
- Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford
- Artur Beterbiev vs David Benavidez
Here at betting.bet, we have take a look at these potential bouts on Alalshikh's list.
Joshua vs Fury
This matchup could be the most significant fight ever staged in Britain and is currently one of the biggest in boxing. After years of rivalry and speculation, this fight promises to be a monumental event, especially in the online boxing betting world.
There's potential for this fight to happen if Tyson Fury wins against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, setting the stage for a clash with Anthony Joshua.
Canelo vs Crawford
Terence Crawford, an undefeated American and a champion in four weight classes at 36, is ready to challenge himself by moving up three weight classes to face Canelo Alvarez, boxing's biggest star. Although Canelo, 33, has shown little interest, a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia might change his mind.
Beterbiev vs Benavidez
Following his success in arranging the light-heavyweight title unification fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, Alalshikh is already planning future big fights. He wants David Benavidez, 27, currently undefeated at super-middleweight, to challenge the winner at 175 pounds. Despite his interest in a fight with Canelo, Benavidez may need to consider this new opportunity.
