Saudi Arabia to host boxing, WWE, and UFC event

Turki Alalshikh plans a major event in Saudi Arabia featuring boxing, WWE, and UFC on the same card. This initiative aims to create a unique experience for fans by combining multiple combat sports into one event, expected later this year or in 2026. The event will showcase top-level talent and aims to diversify Saudi Arabia's entertainment offerings as part of the Vision 2030 initiative. Alalshikh is also collaborating with UFC president Dana White to develop a new boxing league with a unified title system. While the event promises to transform sports entertainment, it faces criticism over potential "sportswashing" and concerns about its impact on existing boxing promoters and regulatory bodies. Official details are still pending.
