Turki Will Not Work with Tszyu: Explained the Reason

Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, Turki Alalshikh, announced that he does not wish to collaborate with former super welterweight champion (up to 69.9 kg) Tim Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs).

"I will not work with Tim Tszyu. Let him go his own way. He doesn't understand me," said Turki.

Recently, while discussing plans for the coming years, Alalshikh mentioned that there were "some unclear communication issues" between his team and Tszyu's.

Tim Tszyu last fought in late March against Sebastian Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) and lost by split decision. The fight was for the WBO title held by Tszyu, as well as the vacant WBC super welterweight title.
