Turki Al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, believes the perception of losses in boxing needs to change.
Quote. “We need to normalize losing some fights in boxing. Every fighter wants a career like Floyd Mayweather’s — zero losses. That happens once every 50, 60, or even 70 years.
What we need now is a UFC-like model, where champions lose and win. Muhammad Ali lost five times, and he’s still a legend,” Al-Sheikh told Froch on Fighting.
Recall. Previously, Turki mentioned that a Usyk-Dubois rematch and a Joshua-Fury bout are among the most anticipated fights for 2025.
