Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya just took to social media to weigh in on recent rumors of Turki Alalshikh shopping The Ring Magazine, not all that long after he purchased it from De La Hoya just a couple of years ago. According to De La Hoya, it’s a signal that Turki is done with the sport.
“So I’ve been collecting information for the last six weeks for the ultimate clap back,” De La Hoya said. “I’ve been listening and watching and you won’t believe some of the sh-t I had to deal with, man. That’s
on its way. But today I wanted to hop on to address the rumors that Turki is trying to sell The Ring Magazine, two years after he bought it from me.
“It’s a dead asset. They stripped it of its credibility and made it purely bias and propaganda with Max Kellerman sucking it off every chance he gets. But it signals to the boxing world that Turki is finished with boxing, and he even said it himself that he’ll be stepping back after the Fury vs Joshua fight.
“I mean, thank God because boxing is more f-cked up than ever. It’s harder to make fights, the big names are idle, they don’t want to fight each other — not because they’re scared, because they’re waiting for that big payday. Anyhow, I hope whoever purchases The Ring Magazine next restores its integrity, the rules, the rankings, the honor and the history it used to stand for.”
