Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the Saudi Entertainment Authority, responded to WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis's recent comments that accused boxers of selling their souls to the Saudi promoter.
Turki Alalshikh for The Ring
I don’t blame Tank Davis for anything that he says, he doesn’t know me and If i put myself in his position: if he sees Crawford making in two fights more with 5 times than all what Tank made in his career. This is a natural reaction from him.
Davis will face WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach in a boxing event on the night of March 2 in Brooklyn, USA.
Davis last fought Frank Martin in June 2024, winning by knockout in the eighth round.
Davis made his professional debut in February 2013 against fellow American Desi Williams, winning by knockout in the first round. His record stands at 30 wins (28 by knockout) and no losses.
