Riyadh Season Under Turki Alalshikh in boxing at the one-year mark of its existence is a major indicator that the Saudi Arabian-led has shifted the course of sporting events. The fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou was scheduled for October 28, 2023, which can be considered a turning point after Saudi Arabia established its position as one of the important agents in the world of professional boxing.
This process has been carried out under the able leadership of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and has been nothing short of revolutionary, for a sport which most times is characterized by so many complications, delays, and business interferences.
A New Era of High-Stakes Boxing
The launching of Riyadh Season has proved to be a great revolution for the boxing sport and amateurs as well. Night are the times when fans had to stay starved waiting for what promoters infamously call “big fights” while being served up mismatches and anti-climactic matches. Riyadh Season is one of them, which has allowed high-quality fights with the participation of prominent fighters in the charge of Turki Alalshikh. This approach has not only reignited the passion but has also introduced a new level of quality for all the fight cards combining elite and competitive Bouts.
Still, one can recall the fight card that took place on August 3 in the United States which included such top-tier talents as Terence Crawford, Andy Ruiz, and Jarrell Miller. Similarly, the IBF Heavyweight championship fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois on September 21 also featured Wembley Stadium only increasing Riyadh’s Season presence.
Turki Alalshikh’s Influence: A Boxing Revolution
The trend of Saudi Arabia being the prime boxing nation has led to significant similarities and parallels to the UFC structure. Just in the same way, Dana White has maintained his control over the MMA, Al Turki Alashikh has come of age as the new face of boxing. However, unlike MMA under the UFC which airs in the U. S and mostly on TSN, the boxing under Riyadh Season airs globally on DAZN which is more accessible.
This global broadcasting agreement is a big change that brings such fights to the fans’ attention worldwide. Altogether, with the leading promoters Frank Warren, Oscar De La Hoya, Eddie Hearn, Bob Arum, and Turki Alalshikh, this has created a situation where super fights with the leading fighters take place more often and what is for the sport wonderful time now.
Power Relations in Boxing
However, the recent year was also not without its small problems as one might think. Thus, the never-ending wars of the Saudi Turki Alalshikh with the top boxers make clear the uncertainty of this new period. When Turki was opened for the fight, it immediately came with problems when Crawford moved up to 154 lbs and won against Israil Madrimov. Through Canelo’s continual desire to set the terms for the fight in light of Turki’s accusations of him deliberately avoiding challenging opponents, the dynamics of this boxing era have become evident.
One of the most famous fighters in modern boxing is Canelo Alvarez, who managed to become one of the main characters in this area. The large purses and the ability to set terms of fights prove that he is a singularly, or perhaps, the most valuable commercial asset. Canelo became a free agent when he parted ways with Golden Boy Promotions in October 2020, which made him the most sought-after fighter he can afford to shop for multiple multi-million-dollar contracts and his interaction with Turki revealed that even he needs to be well-endowed to play the game of power in the boxing.
