When it comes to boxing today, there is nobody more influential than boxing chief has worked wonders for the spot over the past year to 18 months, and has completely transcended the sport of boxing from top to bottom.

In such a short space of time, Turki Alalshikh has put on some of the best fights of the 21st century. Whether it be the first Anthony Joshua fights, His Excellency has been the man getting these fights made almost single handedly.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh boasts a net worth of over £2 billion, so can of course afford to pay fighters millions for these fights. Besides that, he is a huge boxing fan and just wants to see the best fighters face each other to determine who the king or queen really is.

That takes us to this weekend, with the Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury rematch going down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Usyk won the first fight via split decision, but it was a super close fight and a rematch is most definitely needed. Step in His Excellency, who has reportedly put a prize pot of £150 million on the table for Fury and Usyk to split for Saturday’s rematch.

Heading into Saturday’s heavyweight clash, Alalshikh has given a brief yet insightful prediction as how he thinks the rematch will play out. In short, the Saudi boxing kingpin wants Oleksandr Usyk could once again be too strong for ‘The Gypsy King’.

‘I Want Tyson, I Think Usyk’ 2n1y68

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has made no secret of who he wants to win the Tyson Fury rematch. It makes sense for him to back ‘The Gypsy King’, given that if Fury wins there will be a trilogy, once again stages in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Speaking in Riyadh at the launch of the Ring Magazine convention and Usyk vs Fury 2 press conference, which Turki Alalshikh has now officially bought, the 43-year-old itted he wants to see the trilogy so hopes Tyson Fury wins, but feels Oleksandr Usyk could have too much for the Englishman once again:

“I want Tyson. What I think, Usyk. I hope Tyson does it, we want to see the third [fight],” His Excellency revealed in an interview with The Stomping Ground ahead of Saturday’s iconic heavyweight rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh will be hoping the rematch lives up to the hype and billing it has received, with boxing fans in for a treat just a few days before Christmas. Lets hope the rematch lives up to it’s billing and fans get to witness a Saudi Arabian boxing classic this weekend in Riyadh.
