Powered by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Eddie Hearn‘s Matchroom has assembled a fantastic card for Terence Crawford‘s highly anticipated return on August 3 in Los Angeles. But, Oscar De La Hoya indirectly condemned Alalshikh’s involvement. As per the ‘Golden Boy,’ the Saudi Adviser is trying to come to the former’s territory and take over his sport. Therefore, the 51-year-old publicly declared “war” against Alalshiksh who allegedly “doesn’t know s**t about boxing“.

Undoubtedly, De La Hoya’s statements rattled the boxing world as the mentioned card promised six exciting fights boxing fans would love to see. On the undercard of Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov, it promised performances by WBA Super-Lightweight champion Isaac Cruz, former WBO Super-Welterweight champion Tim Tszyu, former unified Heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz, WBA Super-Middleweight champion David Morrel, and Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruz.

But soon, while boxing fans wondered if De La Hoya had somehow disrespected His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions swiftly reached out to the architect of Riyadh Season. Later, Alalshikh showcased the texts De La Hoya had sent the 42-year-old via Instagram.

As per the screenshot His Excellency uploaded on X, Oscar De La Hoya wrote, “Your excellency. As a legend in boxing and a humble human being. I thank you for putting a terrific card in Los Angeles. I appreciate you and respect you.”

So, it looks like both His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and De La Hoya have cleared any confusion they probably had. Anyway, despite the comments by Oscar De La Hoya on X, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh continued promoting the massive card set for August 3rd.

Although Oscar De La Hoya did not seem initially pleased with the mentioned event, promoter Eddie Hearn publicly branded Crawford vs. Madrimov the “best card to land in the US ever“. On the other hand, unfazed by De La Hoya, Alalshikh boasted of the first Riyadh Season card in LA. Taking to Instagram, he wrote, “Los Angeles will witness an epic bout for #RiyadhSeasonCard as champions Crawford and Madrimov compete for the WBA and WBO interim World Super-Welterweight titles.”

On the other hand, Eddie Hearn greatly praised Turki Alalshikh in an interview with Box Nation. “Turki Alalshikh has done it again. What a blockbuster, I cannot wait to be there on August 3rd. His Excellency is a pure fight fan. He listens and reads everything. And now he’s delivering a Saudi-Arabian-style card in Los Angeles for Riyadh Season!” Hearn told Box Nation.
