USA vs. UK in 2024

Turki Al Al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, discussed plans to organize a major tournament featuring a showdown between American and British boxers.

This will be the seventh and final boxing card of 2024 in Saudi Arabia. The tournament is scheduled for December 2024.

Five boxers from the USA will face five boxers from the UK. The teams' line-ups have not yet been disclosed.

"You see how we sometimes commercialize boxing because we understand that it's a competitive market. The market has changed. Why has it changed? Because we have a goal. We are committed to the long-term success of this industry, ready to overcome challenges as we work toward achieving our goal. We will collaborate with all stakeholders to promote it. Everyone understands that we take this very seriously," added Al Al-Sheikh.

On June 1, a similar concept of a boxing evening will be held in Saudi Arabia. Five boxers from Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions will face five fighters from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing.
