Turki Alal Shikh is just simply amazing.
The Fury vs Usyk fight promo is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Is he really Dev, how so? He’s got lots of money you mean?
He certainly splashed the cash on that boneheaded trailer that’s for sure, they’ve thrown everything into it: a mashup of Game of thrones, gladiator, deadwood, but it’s actually pretty rubbish, like some wacko AI generated thing
Turki: underlings, go forth and make me a $2 million trailer, and it shall not cost a penny less!! I don’t care what it’s like
By jingo, what a load of complete and utter hornswaggle.

When it comes to Saudi. Promoters and broadcasts go out the window.
Turki is in complete control here and they all bowing to him.
Sky have obviously bid the most to get the fight.
Not quite. It’s on PPV in the U.K. on DAZN, Sky Sports and TNT.

With all their money you'd think the Saudi's would stick it on normal SKY

Press Release
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season and DAZN have announced that “Ring of Fire” will be broadcast live on DAZN worldwide on 17 February.
WBC and Lineal Champion Tyson ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury and WBO/IBO/IBF/WBA unified champion Oleksandr Usyk will collide in a history-making showdown. The winner will become boxing’s first Undisputed Heavyweight Champion since Britain’s Lennox Lewis claimed that honor 24 years ago, in 1999, but this time four belts are on the line for the first time in history.
The fight and undercard will be available globally on DAZN as pay-per-view, including in the UK and US.
The event will also be available on pay-per-view in the UK through TNT Sports and Sky Sports.

Ukraine’s Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), an Olympic gold medallist, decided to move up from the Cruiserweight division to the Heavyweight division after establishing his dominance there. He caused an upset by defeating Anthony Joshua and becoming the Unified Heavyweight champion. Usyk successfully defended his titles against Joshua in a rematch. Now, he sets his sights on becoming only the second Cruiserweight Champion ever to achieve undisputed status in the heavyweight division.
HE Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority (GEA), said “Since our first Riyadh Season in 2019, the Season has developed a reputation for hosting the biggest events and they do not come much bigger than the undisputed heavyweight title fight. This is history in the making, a fight the world has waited for. Now it is a reality, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is excited to be hosting this era-defining fight. This will be a global spectacle and we will do everything to ensure that everyone has an experience that matches an event of this magnitude.”
Fury vs Usyk, ‘Ring of Fire’ will feature two further world championship fights at the Kingdom Arena, in Riyadh.
Sydney cruiserweight sensation Jai Opetaia will enter a rematch against the previous ruler of the division and champion of the World Boxing Super Series, Mairis Briedis (28-2, 20 KOs) for the IBF world title. The undefeated IBF Super Featherweight World Champion Joe Cordina (17-0, 9 KOs) will make a second defence of his title against when he takes on the IBO World Champion Anthony Cacace (21-1, 7KOs). Former light heavyweight king Sergey Kovalev (35-4-1, 29 KOs) will continue his run at cruiserweight by taking on the unbeaten Robin Sirwan Safar (16-0, 12 KOs) from Sweden. Also featuring is British heavyweight star of the future Moses Itauma (7-0, 5 KOs), the World Youth Amateur champion from 2022, along with cruiserweight and 2021 Olympian David Nyika (8-0, 7 KOs) from New Zealand.
