Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, has hinted at a bold and unconventional twist for the highly anticipated clash between WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson (23–0, 11 KOs) and hard-hitting Mexican contender William Zepeda (33–0, 27 KOs).

“We’ve got a surprise for Shakur Stevenson on Saturday a ring that will shrink as the fight goes on,” Alalshikh teased on social media.

“Shakur says he’s ready to give William Zepeda a beating, and I know the Mexican is prepared for the biggest test of his life.”
