“Boxing’s Battle Royale: Oscar De La Hoya Fires Shots at Saudi Rival in Epic Showdown!”
In the ever-evolving landscape of boxing promotions, there’s a new contender on the horizon, and his name is Turki Alalshikh. The Saudi Royal has made waves in recent months by orchestrating some of the sport’s most extravagant events, drawing marquee names and global attention. Now, with the announcement of the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov fight set for August 3 in Los Angeles, Alalshikh has set his sights on conquering new territory.
However, one man is not willing to yield his ground without a fight. Oscar De La Hoya, the head of Golden Boy Promotions, has taken to social media to issue a defiant challenge to the Saudi newcomer. In a fiery post on X, De La Hoya declared, “No promoter is coming into my territory and think they can take over ‘my’ sport!! This is war!!! This is aimed towards a person who doesn’t know sh*t about boxing!!!”

Despite the impending clash, it’s worth noting that one of De La Hoya’s own fighters is slated to compete in Alalshikh’s debut event in Los Angeles, raising questions about the unity within Golden Boy Promotions.
