Turki Alalshikh Meets The Man Behind The Phantom Punch Lens

Turki Alalshikh Meets The Man Behind The Phantom Punch Lens

Saudi advisor Turki Alalshikh has been doing big things in boxing and outside of professional sport in recent years.

In boxing he has helped put together some of the best fights of the last twenty years or so, or maybe more.

In keeping with preserving and maintain the sports’ rich history he met with the man who took the iconic ‘Phantom Punch’ photo of Muhammad Ali — Neil Leifer.

While all the new technology is great for boxing and professional sport too, which is changing and improving all the time, on a boxing note, preserving the traditions, values and rich history of the sport like this is important and always welcome.
