Turki Alalshikh's 'peace summit' in London, a gathering of boxing promoters, failed to mend the rift between Zuffa Boxing and the old guard. Despite the absence of Dana White and Zuffa representatives, the event aimed to bring down the temperature between promoters, particularly focusing on the highly anticipated Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight for Riyadh Season 2026. Alalshikh, a Saudi power broker, owns a controlling stake in Zuffa Boxing and has a relationship with other promoters, but his relationship with Zuffa is above the rest. The summit's outcome remains uncertain, as the promoters' unity is fragile, and the drama surrounding the Fury vs. Joshua fight continues. This raises questions about the future of boxing and the role of Saudi influence in the sport.
