Turki Alalshikh Reveals Who Will Face The Winner Of Fury-Usyk

One of the most important undisputed heavyweight title fights takes place on May 18 between WBC champion Tyson Fury & unified champion Oleksandr Usyk. This could only be made possible by the most influential man in the sport today, Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) board of directors. It’s no secret that he is working with a tremendous budget to bring the biggest entertainment events to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That said, Alalshikh has publicly announced his plans for the winner of Fury-Usyk.

Earlier today, Alalshikh posted a picture of himself standing next to former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua via his verified social media account. The caption reads, “We are waiting for the result of Usyk vs Fury.” It’s been widely reported that the Fury vs Usyk deal is for two fights, so would Joshua have next at some point in 2025 or sooner? Plans seem to change quickly, as seen with the Zhilei Zhang vs Joseph Parker rematch, which looked to be next, and all of a sudden, Zhang is fighting Deontay Wilder. At the end of the day, Alalshikh has the money and power to have things play out his way as promoters are stuffing their pockets with large checks from him.
