Turki Alalshikh has taken a decisive step in response to the disrespect shown him and his nation by two prominent fighters, Floyd Schofield Jr. and Teofimo Lopez. The influential boxing powerbroker announced that he is severing ties with both athletes due to their lack of respect for his country, Saudi Arabia, or his religion.
As reported by Forbes, Alalshikh’s stance on this matter became clear during a recent podcast appearance, where he emphasized the importance of mutual respect in business dealings. When asked about Schofield Jr.’s current status with him, Alalshikh responded bluntly, “You think this guy deserves another chance?” His dissatisfaction with Schofield stems from the fighter’s decision to pull out of a high-profile bout 36 hours prior to the event and then proceed to make false accusations against Riyadh Season, Alalshikh’s organization.
