Turki is great for boxing. But i think he himself gets too excited and announces future fights too far in advance. Anything can happen. He announced AJ Wilder, Parker derailed it. He announced Wilder Anderson for Aug, Zhang derailed it. He announced Madrimov for Feb card when he was all ready at that point still scheduled for Dec. There have been a few others.
We are in 2025 yet just announce the actual cards that are yet to happen next first and let them play out.
Also mention some fights that should not even be made, he said he wants to see Itauma vs Usyk, Usyk is No.1 and 38. Itauma is 19 and a prospect with big potential. Let him work his way up no need to rush he is the next generation not this.
I get what you're saying but in the end, at LEAST hes attempting to make good/big fights happen
So a welterweight tournament between one welterweight (who should really be at 154) and three 140 pounders. I wonder who is going to win.
I thought Boots was only staying at 147 for unification fights?
Email Ennis aint bout that life. Ducked Crawf twice at 147, Ducked Ortiz at 154, even tho he attempted to make a fight with Conwell at 54

I guess he could always claim that the opportunity for "big fights" was too good to pass up? /s
Also if he moves up on the summer of 2026 by then Crawford would be retired or about to retire and Boots can claim he got ducked by Crawford.

Turki not wanting anyone to share the Pie is like him saying: "You (the promoters) greedy mofo played the cash in game too long... Let me put things back in order... "
