After landing a deal with Netflix to air Riyadh’s Season fight of Canelo Alvarez vs Terrence Crawford taking place on September 13th in Las Vegas, Turki Alalshikh has opened an invitation to young, hungry fighters a chance to perform under the bright lights.

In a previous post on X, Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Entertainment Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, expressed his disappointment in some of the latest fights that have provided stinkers in the ring as they have become a cat-and-mouse chase in the ring “Tom and Jerry,” as he phrased it.

With this big opportunity for young and hungry talent to showcase their talents on the big stage, Turki went to his X page and gave an open invitation to some of these prospects to get an opportunity to rise to a higher level in their boxing careers and show what they have under the bright lights.

“The world will be watching Riyadh Season’s Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford fight of the century on Netflix. And for that, I want to load the undercard with young, hungry fighters who deserve the chance to perform under the bright lights. These are some of the names I hope to see fighting in Las Vegas on Sept. 13, led by The Ring champion Junto Nakatani. If you are interested, you and your teams know how to find me:

Christian Mbilli

Mohammed Alakel

Reito Tsutsumi

Justin Viloria

Emiliano Alvarado

Jamar Talley

Abdullah Mason

Nishant Dev,” posted Turki Alalshikh on his X account.

With the recent disappointments in some of his big fights, some young and hungry blood in the ring would be a good way to bring back the excitement in the ring during big matchups to spice up the cards of the day.

This will be a big opportunity for those young boxers to make a name for themselves and raise their status in the boxing scene. It also wouldn’t hurt to add something to their bank accounts.
