Breaking Barriers! Saudi Boxing Chief’s Bold Aspirations: Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury Takes Center Stage in Vision for Three Epic Battles

SAUDI boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has picked Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury as one of his top three dream matchups.

The powerful politician has revitalized the sport by providing the funding to finally make the greatest fights happen.

Tyson Fury vs Joshua is on Alalshikh’s boxing wishlist.

And in an “Ask Me Anything Q&A” on Reddit, he listed the three fights he most desperately wants to make.

They are as follows: Joshua vs Fury, Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford and Artur Beterbiev vs David Benavidez.

Here, SunSport runs down what makes the showdowns on Alalshikh’s wishlist so special.

Joshua vs Fury

It is by far the greatest fight ever to be made in Britain and possibly the biggest on the market right now.

Years of feuding and speculation would finally be put to bed in a genuine blockbuster for the ages.

There is hope if Fury defeats Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 that AJ could slot in to face the Gypsy King afterwards to at last give fans – and Alalshikh – what they want.

Canelo vs Crawford

Unbeaten American Crawford, 36, has looked almost unstoppable on his way to becoming a four-division world champ.

And he is so confident he is ready to go up THREE divisions to fight boxing’s top superstar Canelo.

The Mexican, 33, has so far seemed uninterested in the bout – but that could be quickly changed by a Saudi payday.

Beterbiev vs Benavidez

One of Alalshikh’s biggest coups has been making the light-heavyweight undisputed showdown between Dmitry Bivol, 33, and Beterbiev, 39, on June 1.

But already, the powerbroker is thinking ahead and has plans for Benavidez, 27, to step up from super-middle to face the winner.

The unbeaten US star has chased a bout with Canelo but to no avail leaving himself open to a move to 175lb.
