Turki Alalashikh Sets Record Straight On Dana White Promoting Canelo vs Crawford

This X post cast a lot of doubt about whether White and TKO would still be promoting the event, especially because there was initially a UFC PPV card scheduled for that same day (the PPV has since been cancelled). And given the late change, some wondered whether this meant there was some bad blood brewing between White and Alalshikh, who are arguably the two most powerful men in all of combat sports.

But Turki set the record straight in this regard with an X post on June 8 that read, "My brother Dana will promote this fight. It is the fight of Riyadh Season, and we have a deal with TKO to promote it and it will the biggest fight in boxing, and tomorrow I think I will tell the details and the platform and the place for this fight, me and and Dana ".

Attached to this post was White's response to being asked about Turki not mentioning him in the aforementioned May 18 X post, where White said, "I'm gonna tell you something that's awesome, man. So, there's a lot of f***** up things about boxing. But they don't say s***. I mean, nobody talks. It's the most amazing thing.

"These guys don't talk. I'm promoting the fight," he added with a smile.

So, not only are White and Turki clearly still on good terms and White is still promoting the fight, but the boxing world can expect final details about this Canelo vs. Crawford bout in the coming days.
