Turki Alalshikh complains about Canelo Alvarez vs Williams Scull fight: “I don’t want any more Tom and Jerry”

The only reason Canelo Alvarez faced William Scull in May in his fight in Saudi Arabia is to regain the undisputed super middleweight championship and expose it against Terence Crawford.

That fight will be in Las Vegas on September 13 and is the duel he has been looking for since August 2024 and he achieved it with a contract with the Mexican for four fights.

Turki Al-Sheikh complains about William Scull’s style

However, Saul Alvarez‘s first bout in Riyadh left much to be desired as he was unable to stop Scull’s run in the ring in the fight with the fewest punches, according to CompuBox.

“I don’t want to see any more Tom and Jerry-style boxing matches, where one boxer runs around the ring and the other chases him,” said Sheikh Turki Al-Sheikh. “We can no longer support this kind of fight with Riyadh Season and The Ring. We want to support boxers who leave everything in the ring and fight with heart and pride.”

After the fights between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, as well as Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, not all of his fights have been so good, including the one he did in New York with the defeat of Ryan Garcia against Rollie Romero, with a victory for Devin Haney that did not attract attention either.

Canelo Alvarez vs Crawford, the new bet

Now the big fight that Turki Alalshikh has ahead of him is Alvarez against Crawford, which will be broadcast on Netflix and will be at the Allegiant Stadium, where the Las Vegas Raiders play.

While two of the best boxers of recent years are being measured, the difference in weight, more than two divisions, has raised doubts

The sheikh has gone out of his way to ‘sell’ the fight as the biggest in history because of the economic impact and to achieve this he uses Dana White, president of the UFC. We’ll see if he achieves his goal with his whim of a fight.

Rahm clinches LIV Golf title in bizarre circumstances – as Poulter avoids relegation

Jon Rahm claimed his second successive LIV Golf individual championship despite losing in a playoff in the Indianapolis event, having earlier shot a career-best 60, and not winning a tournament all year.The Spaniard pipped Joaquin Niemann, who finished the week tied fourth, for the season-long title for the second successive year despite the Chilean player having won five times on the Saudi-backed tour in 2025. Rahm could not claim his first tournament win in 12 months, however, after suffering a second playoff defeat in as many weeks, this time to Colombia's Sebastian Munoz.After Rahm's final-round 11-under 60 at Chatham Hills had given him Sunday's clubhouse lead, Munoz - who on Friday had become the first player to score 59 with a double bogey - birdied the final two holes for a 65 to tie Rahm's 22-under tournament score.Munoz then won […]
