Commission, WBC refutes that Turks Alalshikh knew the result of Carlos Adames-Hamzah Sheeraz

Published

Regardless of whether it was a steam in Callum Smith-Joshua Batsi thriller, the film fall of Martin Bakole, or an amazing skill level at the exhibition between Dmitry Blivol and Artur Beterbaiew, the “Last Crescendo” card provided many unforgettable moments.

However, the somewhat uncertain performance of Hamzah Sheeraz against the WBC of medium weight, Carlos Adames, left some observers surprised and frustrated, especially Turki Alalshikh, the head of the general entertainment authority of Saudi Arabia and the key cog in matching wheels.

The film material appeared in social media, which soon became popular, and Alalshikhh went to the corner of the Englishman, where he then tried to tell the boxer that he was on two points.

“Two points” – he said with one hand on the ring apron, and the other raising two fingers: “You lose, two points … You must [indecipherable] his. You lose, two points. “

Alalshikh, with an increasing need, provides the same information to a member of the Sheeraz corner team. “He must [indecipherable] his. Two points. Tell him. Two points. Tell him. Tell him! “

This level of disturbance from the figure often described as the most influential in boxing, and therefore someone who should remain impartial to avoid any suggestion of Skulduggiera can be considered as exceeding the sign. It is reasonably to draw a conclusion that Alalshikh wanted to win only for Sheeraz, the ambassador of the Riyadh season.

The view that he knew the result is probably a lie. Robert Smith was in Saudi Arabia in his role as secretary general of the British Boxing Control Council, commissioners of the event, and said Boxingscene: “He did not approach the table anywhere, so I just don’t see how he could know what the results were. Even if he approached the score table, he would be moved.

“There are also three results, not one, and Sheeraz would not be two points on all three results cards.

“Another factor to consider is the amount of time that would have to do it between rounds. Judges cards are collected at the end of each round, and the results are then transferred separately to running sums. This process requires a majority of minutes, it is pointless to suggest that he would be able to see the result without notice, and then had time to convey his discoveries to Sheeraz. “

“Or he believed that Sheeraz lost and passed this opinion – or saw the result at one of the television broadcasts and he passed on.”

Sources similar to action claimed that Alalshikh had access to Dazna’s range via the monitor before its sitting. However, after reviewing the material, Alalshikh can leave his place, leaving 30 seconds remaining in 10th The circle before arriving in the corner of Sheeraz at the beginning of the break before 11 .. At that moment, with two rounds, Chris Mannix from Dazna had Adames by four points.

Boxingscene understands that the explanation of the Alalshikha incident is that he offered his own opinion about who won the fight, and he tried to interfere with the urgent need for Sheeraz’s performance. In the end, Alalshikh certainly wanted his event to meet the noise, that it was the best in the history of boxing. In a duel between Adames and Sheeraz, there was certainly a lack of drama that took place in duels, which both preceded and followed. You can see him on the legs in 11thClearly dissatisfied with the action – or lack.

“At that time I did not notice the incident,” said the president of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman. “I don’t think he knew the results, but instead he expressed his opinion that Sheeraz was behind. The results are served by BBBOC and WBC supervisor. I was right behind them and I never saw someone approached see or ask about the results. “

Regardless of the truth, neither Sulaiman nor Smith saw anything unexpected in Alalshikha’s activities.

“Every fight I see, promoters and managers shout, support and instruct their fighters,” said Sulaiman.

“Promoters and managers have always told their fighters that they were behind or have to win the next round,” added Smith. “Mickey Duff did it all the time, and on Saturday Frank [Warren] He told Sheeraz himself that he had to win the next round. This is not unusual. “

This incident probably attracted more attention because of the competition, mainly controlled by Adames, and then considering himself controversial. The Italian Guido Cavalleri, to everyone’s surprise, shot the competition 115-114 in favor of Sheraz, while Mexico Omar Mintun Snr had fighters at 114-114. Barry Lindenman from America seemed good when he got it 118-110 for Adames.

Judging by these sums, and throwing basic mathematics, the only result that sheeraz could do two points after 10 rounds, was Mintun Snr. Again, all evidence that Alalshikh is initiated into the results are largely non -existent.

At the time of writing this text, there are no plans to further examine. Although Smith believed that the draw was the wrong decision, Sulaiman said: “In my opinion, the fight was very close, but Adames did not lose. I am glad that he came out with the belt. “

It’s definitely happier than Alalshikh.

Kell Brook Evaluates Conor Benns Chances Against Ryan Garcia for World Title Fight

Kell Brook Evaluates Conor Benn's Chances Against Ryan Garcia for World Title Fight

Former IBF welterweight world champion, Kell Brookhas previously called for a domestic dust-up with Conor Benn. Now, ‘Special K’ has predicted how Benn will fare in his first world title challenge, against WBC titleholder, Ryan Garcia.

Benn and Brook were linked to a bout in May 2023, when the pair were pulled apart in a ringside confrontation in Dublinbut the fight never materialised, partly due to the fact that Benn had relinquished his BBBofC license following his infamous failed drugs test.

Instead, Benn twice fought stateside as a super-welterweight and then twice boxed fierce rival Chris Eubank J as a middleweight, before announcing plans to return to the welterweight division and challenge for world honours.

On his way back down to 147lbs, Benn entered the ring against Regis Prograis earlier this year in a 150lb catchweight contest and underwhelmed, but still he has landed his title shot, with a fight against Garcia now formally confirmed.

Speaking on the Fight Your Corner PodcastKell Brook looked ahead to the fight and admitted that whilst he gives Benn ‘a good chance’, he feels as though the power of Garcia means that a win for the Californian is more likely.

“I give him [Benn] a good chance, but I do lean towards Garcia winning the fight, I do. In his last fight he boxed well but in the fight before, he didn’t box so good. I just think that he will rise to the occasion, they are champions and I think that we are going to see the best of both of ‘em.

“I just think that Garcia has got that get-out-of-jail card. When I boxed Shawn Porter, I went to Vegas to finish some sparring off and I was some sparring with some good kids. I put it onto this kid and had a really good spar, I was punching hard.

“We had something to eat after and I said, who is the biggest puncher you’ve been to, don’t forget I’m a lot older than Garcia, and he said, ‘I have never been hit as hard as by Ryan Garcia,’. That punch power that he has got, that snap [is impressive].”

Garcia-Benn takes place on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with undefeated cruiserweight Jai Opetaia expected to appear on the undercard.

Tyson Fury Raises Doubts on Potential Anthony Joshua Fight: I Can Never See Him Taking That

Tyson Fury Raises Doubts on Potential Anthony Joshua Fight: "I Can Never See Him Taking That"

Tyson Fury has raised serious concerns over his proposed showdown with Anthony Joshua.

After over a decade of build-up, Fury and Joshua finally look set to meet later this year, provided that both men can first come through their respective warm-up bouts this weekend.

Fury takes on Mariusz Wach in Thailand on Friday, before Joshua then meets Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia 24 hours laterseemingly paving the way for the all-British showdown at the end of 2026.

‘The Gypsy King’ still doesn’t seem convinced that it will happen though, as he shared his doubts whilst speaking to IFL TV.

“Until that fight happens and we’re walking to the ring, I’m not convinced it does. 100% [I’m doubtful].

I can never see that stiff sitting on a table with me ever. What the f**k is he going to say? I can never see him at a press conference with me, it would be a bombardment. I can never see him taking that.

“He wouldn’t even get in the ring [after the Makhmudov fight]. He s**t himself and sat on a stool outside and didn’t even want to get up and build the fight and make the fight happen when Turki said to us both ‘come on boys let’s do it get in the ring and make it happen.’

“He didn’t want to do it, so how is he going to come face to face with me at a press conference? I think he’s a bottle job, a flapper, a chinless wonder as well.”

Despite Fury’s fears, all signs still point towards the fight taking place later this year, though there still remains a debate over where it will be held.

Two Brits Set for World Title Showdown as Dmitry Bivol Primed to Vacate WBO Belt

"Two Brits Set for World Title Showdown as Dmitry Bivol Primed to Vacate WBO Belt"

Dmitry Bivol looked as if he was ready to move on from a trilogy fight with Artur Beterbiev, but it now seems as though the unified light-heavyweight world champion is ready to run it back with his rival, thus opening the door for two Brits to compete for one of his belts.

Bivol claimed the undisputed light-heavyweight crown in February 2025 when he avenged his defeat to Beterbiev with a majority-decision win, but he soon relinquished the WBC marble – which was then handed to David Benavidez.

After 15 months of inactivity, Bivol returned to action in May to fulfil his IBF mandatory and shake off some ring rust against Germany’s Michael Eifertbut it was then believed that Bivol would proceed with his WBO mandatory and next face Liverpool’s Callum Smith, much to the frustration of Beterbiev.

Yet, in an interview with Ring MagazineBivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has revealed that the 35-year-old is instead keen for a third fight with the Russian-Canadian. Therefore, he expects Bivol to vacate the WBO world title in order to make it happen, with Smith likely to rematch Joshua Buatsi for the vacant belt.

“I think it’s unlikely he will defend against Smith. I think Smith will fight Joshua Buatsi for the vacant title. But Dmitry is ready to make the Beterbiev fight.”

Smith decisioned Buatsi on the Beterbiev-Bivol II undercard in a Fight of the Year contender and Smith is yet to fight since, whilst Buatsi was seen as fortunate by some to get the decision when he returned and fought Zach Parker in November.

Smith and Buatsi could be set to top the bill of the second ‘Matchroom vs Queensberry’ event, which will likely take place in November.
