World Boxing News may reveal the danger of asbestos in Alcatraz, which could hinder planning a boxing match on the island.

WBN visited a tourist place last month as part of the four -state promotion. We wanted to see if the plans of a significant boxing event in an aged prison could work.

Several factors stopped plans for 2025. The main issues were areas and construction. As a result, the promoter of Saudi Arabia Turki Alalshikh changed his goals to March 2026.

The producer/film director is planned several promotions. One event includes a boxing match on the island of Alcatraz.

Alalshikh has planned the Alcatraz match to present a super airy champion Teofimo Lopez. This is not the case.

Lopez will fight at least twice earlier. As previously informed by worldboxingnews.com, the island stayed in February to assess how you can put up this fight night.

The aged prison closed in the 1960s after 29 years of action. One of the most infamous prisoners near San Francisco lived. At the moment it is under construction. When WBN came from a compact sail from the bay of San Francisco, the park’s guard informed us that society could not walk in some places.

Due to the restricted space, the sale of many tickets can lead to security problems, which will cause fewer fans to participate.

When the guests come from Pier 39 using cruises in Alcatraz City, the staff inform them about the dangers of Alcatraz. Golden Gate Conservancy national parks is determined by what those who enter, can and cannot do. But it’s not as bad as a departure. The audience only learns about the danger of asbestos when they buy a piece of “rock” as a souvenir.

If the buyers took a historic stone home, they were warned so as not to lick him. This is because of asbestos found in the turn. This can cause stern concerns about boxers spending too much time on the island. There is also little space, and reaching the prison part is quite uphill.

Alcatraz Recreation Yard

The best place for a boxing match is the recreational yard. This outer area is shown in the Clint Eastwood Escape from Alcatraz. He has a softball pitch that still have lines and throwing mounds, from which the prisoners used during their stay in prison with maximum safety.

But because it is protected by the service of the National Park [Yes, it’s classed as a park]Building anything on the island, even temporarily, would require significant planning and permission.

The attraction now offers an Audio Cellhouse, a one -day trip with access to Mess Hall Criminals, the celebrated lighthouse and night trip. Information Details on how the well -known gangster al caapone, George Machine Gun Kelly and “Birdman of Alcatraz” Robert Stroud spent time on the island.

The presented headphones also explain several attempts to escape, which the responsible responsible have never admitted.

Every time the prisoner managed to leave the island, “was missing” and “it was thought to drown” because of forceful currents in fresh water surrounding Alcatraz.

San Francisco, a massive producer of seafood, has a stunning everyday sunset and surrounding views Fort Mason, Spencer battery [overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge]And Sausalito, evident from the bridge.

Boxing fans who manage to spend time to visit such a landmark in the United States. However, the staging of a boxing match in the California performance is an ambitious plan that you can not accept warmth.
