Turki Alalshikh, head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, made a surprise call during the press conference for the upcoming July 12 event in Queens, USA, featuring Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda and Hamzah Sheeraz vs Edgar Berlanga.
“Let me say this publicly – we’re ready. We’re ready to make big fights.
We’ll have a major card in August, and another huge one in October. We’re talking to Matchroom and Eddie Hearn about a fight between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Teofimo Lopez. We’re also in negotiations for a big matchup between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney.
And this card is very important to me: Shakur, Zepeda, Sheeraz, Berlanga – the outcomes will shape the future.”
The highly anticipated event takes place on July 12 at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
