Legendary promoter Don King has extended a collaboration proposal to Turki Alalshikh, the head of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority.
“Your Excellency Turki, I look forward to meeting with you to make history together. Collaboration bears fruit, and I eagerly await our meeting. Please arrange this with Mauricio Sulaiman,” King said.
Turki responded to King: “Good to see you in good health. It’s a pleasure to connect and work together to achieve great things for boxing.”
Don King is regarded as one of the most prominent promoters in American boxing history. Among his most famous clients were Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield. King was also the mastermind behind legendary bouts such as the “Rumble in the Jungle” between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, and the “Thriller in Manila” between Ali and Joe Frazier.
