There were problems in Turk Al-Sheikh because of Usyk and Saul Alvarez

Boxing stars no longer have much desire to fight in Saudi Arabia”, — write: sport.ua

The beginning of 2026 brought unexpected signals from world boxing stars.

According to the source, Oleksandr Usyk, Saul Alvarez and David Benavides are increasingly making it clear that they do not plan to cooperate with the Saudi promoter Turki Al-Sheikh and return to fighting in Riyadh in the near future, which may affect the future plans of the functionary in the organization of megafights.

The 38-year-old Ukrainian, who has never defended the title of heavyweight champion in the United States, dreams of holding a fight in Las Vegas or New York. According to foreign media, Usyk is considering a fight with Deontay Wilder in the USA, wanting new emotions at the end of his career. However, it will be extremely difficult to implement these plans without the consent of Turki.

Turki Al-Sheikh refused Usyk and found a replacement for him
