Lennox Lewis on the Rebirth of The Ring: “Turki Will Invest in Only the Best”

In an exclusive interview with Ready to Fight, former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis shared his thoughts on Turki Alalshikh—head of the General Entertainment Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—acquiring the oldest boxing publication, The Ring.

– The Ring is the real legend, isn’t it? A magazine often called the Bible of Boxing. What Turki Alalshikh is doing to revive and revamp it is truly something special.

– Yes, what he’s doing is fantastic—bringing together the best people. I’m sure it’s going to be a great magazine. For me, growing up, The Ring was where I’d look to find out who was number one, who the best trainer was, who the promising boxer was.

I really like that he bought it, and I know he’ll only invest in the finest things: the best reports, the best photos—everything top-notch. It’s going to be fantastic.
