Turki Alalshikh and Dana White plan to have a championship throughout the sport, which will prevent many fighters from getting a chance to fight for a belt, according to promoters Eddie Hearn. Turki and White’s plans are not the solution to save the sport. This will make the situation worse.

Career freeze
With only one championship, the contender will always win the title, especially when we’re the same repetitions we’ve seen with Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. Contenders’ careers are frozen in a situation waiting to be with the title, their age, they missed.
The idea of Turki having a championship in every weight department will hinder the sport to prevent many fighters from competing for belts and capturing them. What could further damage the sport is enabling the fighters to rise to multiple divisions to skip boundaries and compete for the world championship without participating in the weight level.
Line jump
That’s Turki’s contender for Terence Crawford’s rise from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez’s WBA, WBC and WBO Super Intermediate Championship. This is so unfair to fighters in the 168 race. If Turki continues to do something similar in the future, the fighter jets competing in his league will become cancer. The warriors should be equal, but as we see here Some are more equal than others. Is this the norm for Turki’s new alliance?
“A belt in boxing is not revolutionary. It has been discussed many times. So far, we have not had the financial firepower to achieve this,” Eddie Hearn said Fighting TVIn the sport, a response was made to the plans of Turki Alalshikh and Dana White.
Turki has money to try to change the sport so that he has a belt to his weight class, but it is unrealistic, without four sanctions to go bankrupt. This not only requires this, but also requires all promoters outside his company to give up.
The only thing Türkiye and Dana White can do is to distract the sport more from their leagues. They might target the talented fighters developed by other promoters, get them to do the hard work, and then give them a lot of money to join the league.
In other words, THey, it’s like a wolflooking at the fighter jets outside the company, hoping to bring them. Even doing so, they can’t create a belt that is considered the only one. The sport will be as dispersed as it is now. It just makes me think these guys have no clues.
Champions battle?
“I wouldn’t underestimate the value of the World Championship belt, four belts (IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO). The legacy and history behind it, and those belts their heroes have at their waists.
“Also, sometimes when there is only one championship, others don’t really have a chance to win a world championship. I really believe in finding out who is the best. So if there is a way to do that, I’m also doing it for that.
“I don’t think this will break (boxing), but when people talk about fixes, it’s certainly not a quick solution. With his priest and his financial fire, maybe this could happen in time,” Hearn said.
