Turki on Alcatraz Tournament: "Maybe We Leave Some Promoters There"

Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Alalshikh has shared more details about his collaboration with UFC president Dana White, who now leads the new TKO boxing promotion.

"There are also small things happening.

I've already talked about the Times Square tournament on May 2. Also, a small card at the end of June in Alcatraz Prison, San Francisco.

Maybe Dana and I will leave some promoters in the prison afterward," Turki joked.

As he made this remark, White signaled a "time-out" gesture with his hands, adding to the lighthearted moment.

This comes after Alalshikh signed an agreement with the heads of UFC and WWE to establish a new boxing organization, with plans already taking shape for high-profile events and innovations in the sport.
