Good to see balance and freedom of speech in Ring Magazine who were not afraid to criticize their own owner Turki Alalshikh.
Say what you want, and Eddie Hearn the leading boxing promoter was wrong yesterday too when he said boxing was hot before Turki Alalshikh came to boxing, wrong, Turki Alalshikh has and will continue to transform the sport with the help of some very heavy, heavy, new, more powerful people soon than boxing has ever seen in its history — not just from America either.
There is of course room from Hearn and anyone else looking to compete with them.
With that being said, Turki Alalshikh copped some criticism from his own publication Ring Magazine from their Chief Editor Dougie Fischer who said no one can organize the wild, wild West that is boxing.
His response on X was:
“I heard Bob Arum once said ‘the desert is strewn with bleached bones of those who think they can change boxing…’ I am from the middle of the hottest desert in the world. It makes our skin thick and we can handle it in the end. Lets see Dougie.”
He is right you know.
There are much more hot desserts and much more dangerous places on Earth than Nevada, after all.
Ultimately all of this is great for the sport of boxing and the steam rolling, bulldozing job to make the sport even better is only around the corner.
Over the last 18 months boxing has seen fights made at the highest level that they have not seen in some time, that is a fact.
The good times have not even started for boxing, this is only the beginning as continued commercial votes of confidence come from Wall Street and blue chip corporations such as Netflix and more in the East and West.
Boxing will be made great again.
The best fights is what boxing fans and the boxing world want.
That is what they will get.
