Turki Alalshikh is turning a traditionally one night boxing event into a multi day talent showcase. By stretching the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford super fight across two to three days. Alalshikh is essentially creating a mini boxing festival leading up to the main event on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium. The idea of having an fight festival has certainly raised some eyebrows across the boxing community.
Turki Alalshikh wants new and fresh talent to emerge. “The undercard will be between two or three days,“ Alalshikh said on The Ring’s YouTube channel with Rick Reeno and Mike Coppinger.
