In the world of boxing, the name Turki Alalshikh stands synonymous with a passionate dedication to organizing some of the most thrilling fights in the sport. From Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk to the much-anticipated Matchroom vs. Queensberry showdowns, Alalshikh has consistently aimed to provide boxing fans with unforgettable spectacles.
His latest endeavor was to stage a bout between Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis, promising an electrifying display of skill that would leave fans on the edge of their seats.
“But Haney I want to see in my country and I send message from you now to him,” he noted.
“I will try to do it in 2024. And Davis of course we want him in our country,”
However, negotiations hit a snag when Gervonta Davis, slated to face Frank Martin at the MGM Grand the following month, made an unexpected demand. Davis insisted on receiving not one, but two Ferraris as a condition for agreeing to Alalshikh‘s proposal.
Davis’ explanation
In a clever retort, Alalshikh stated that he would happily send Davis two gloves instead, should the boxer be serious about facing Haney and proving himself in the ring.
Now, Gervonta Davis has elaborated on his demand for two Ferraris, shedding light on his reasoning behind the unusual request.
“You know why I said that? Cause he was already talking like he was backing Devin,” Davis told the Cigar Talk Podcast.
