Saying of the week: Turki Al-Sheikh

“If I thought Matchroom had a chance, then I would do an event like this.”

Boxing impresario Turki Al-Sheikh smiles when asked when he will organize a “5 vs. 5” between the stables Golden Boy Promotions (Oscar de la Hoya) and Matchroom Boxing (Eddie Hearn). Matchroom last took part in a “5 vs. 5” stable duel against Queensberry Promotions – and suffered a bitter 0:10 defeat against their rivals.
