Saudi sports enthusiast Turki Alalshikh has played a key role in coordinating various top-tier fights and events in his beloved sport. With the highly-anticipated Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight unification bout on the horizon in Riyadh, Alalshikh has unveiled his lineup of “dream fights” that he hopes will materialize soon.
The fantasy matchups he envisions feature:
- Terence Crawford Vs. Canelo Alvarez
- Naoya Inoue Vs. Gervonta Davis
- Tyson Fury Vs. Anthony Joshua
- David Benavidez Vs. Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev
One of the most intriguing pairings is between Naoya Inoue and Gervonta Davis, despite potential challenges arising from the difference in their sizes. Nonetheless, there is a rising interest in a showdown between them at a catchweight, as proposed by Alalshikh.
Alalshikh stresses his eagerness to witness these dream matchups take place, particularly underscoring the importance of Inoue displaying his skills on a global platform outside Japan. While certain fights like Inoue-Davis might encounter hurdles due to weight variations, there remains optimism for these clashes to materialize under the right circumstances.
Although some logistical obstacles, such as fighter weight differences, could arise in realizing Alalshikh’s vision for the sport’s future, the possibility of these dream fights coming to fruition ignites stimulating conversations within the sports community.
