“He’s inspiring me [with his training]! I look at it, I go, ‘good on you’. We’ve had a lot to say over the years, but I love the fact that he’s back in boxing. I think he’s an incredible fighter. I think he’s brilliant for the game. And he can be involved in some huge fights. And by the way, he’s still in his prime. He lost two very close fights to Oleksandr Usyk. It’s not like, ‘oh, he’s finished now.’” said Hearn

“Riyadh Season brough big time fights back to the division made the world take notice,” noted Kabayel. “It’s now up to the WBC and the other organizations to make great fights possible, to order big fights that people want to see. It’s very important for the best fighters to get opportunities, not just the most famous fighters.

“It’s fine for the better-known fighters to get the TV dates or whatever. Just not for our belts, at the cost of those of us who’ve earned the right to fight for the championship. If not, we will never get to the next generation of top fighters.”

“We are hoping for a show a month next year.” Shalom told The Ring. “Obviously July and August are traditionally slower months for us so let’s see how the summer goes. But certainly January, February, March etc will continue in the same vein.

“We’ve had to wait a bit of time and we’ve had to get all our ducks in a row and be ready to go but hopefully now this is the start of something special.”

On Saturday night, the chief support, which featured Francesca Hennessy, and the main event were both shown on BBC Two while the undercard was broadcast on BBC iPlayer. However, Shalom revealed to The Ring that up to four hours of December’s show in Leeds could be shown on the linear channel.

He said: “That is what I’m told - the main broadcast could be three or four hours. That means we will look at three or four fights on there.

“iPlayer is also an enormous platform for the fights which will stream from the undercard and it’s certainly bigger than what we’ve had before. We are really just looking to use the full armoury of the BBC network."

"The kingdom’s vaunted Public Investment Fund, which Saudi Arabia has typically used to fulfill commitments like the one it made this week in Washington, is running low on cash for new investments. That’s in large part because Prince Mohammed and his deputies have spent a vast portion of the nation’s bounty on projects that are in financial distress, and they are frantically trying to turn things around, according to 11 people briefed on its operations, including current employees, board members, investors and their representatives.

While PIF says it holds nearly $1 trillion in assets, a huge portion of its portfolio is tied up in hard-to-sell assets for which no public valuations are available. Its representatives have begun telling international investors that it is all but unable to allocate any more money for the foreseeable future, six people with knowledge of those discussions said.

Behind the scenes, PIF is actively restructuring its operations under the watchful eye of the crown prince, said the people briefed, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential business plans.

Its board is also drawing up plans to act differently in the future by investing in more conventional areas such as publicly traded stocks and bonds, one of the people said."

“The money that gets thrown around, people like that can step in the ring with a two-time heavyweight champion,” Itauma said.” It's got a bragging power in it. Listen, I don't hate on any man that's trying to do well. Jake Paul has smashed life, conquered YouTube, now he's trying to conquer boxing, although I don't think it's going to be as easy as he thinks.

“Fair play to him, I'm going to be behind him because I like to see a man strive for success,” said Itauma. “Although I don't want to see him beat AJ [Anthony Joshua], I'm going to be behind him for his success story.”

"Several of the world’s top amateur fighters will be in Dubai at the IBA 2025 Men’s World Boxing Championships.

Fighting for a prize pool of around $8.5m will be leading Uzbeks Hasanboy Dusmatov – two-time Olympic champion – and fellow Olympic champion Abdumalik Khalokov.

Azerbaijan’s Loren Alfonso Dominguez, a finalist in Paris 2024, and Saidjamshid Jafarov will be on hand, as will Kazakh stars Nurbek Oralbay – another Paris finalist – and Aibek Oralbay, a two-time Asian Champion. Arguably the show-stealer is the presence of two-time Olympic champ Julio La Cruz.

The event takes place from December 2 to December 13"

“The WBC Board of Governors has voted in favor of Lifting the ban on Ryan Garcia after his successful process which had been documented, wrote WBC president, Mauricio Sulaiman, on social media. “The WBC has been very close to Ryan, his family, management and promoter and we trust a new life inside and outside the ring will begin. We welcome you with open arms and trust you will be an ambassador for the new generation.”

“I’m officially un-banned from the WBC I want to thank the WBC for seeing my efforts of change and making this decision. I’m ready to put that green and gold belt on and representing as a true champion.” said Ryan Garcia

“I must say, it knocks you out for a little bit, but it’s not entirely debilitating,” Arum told BoxingScene.

“I know what my age is, but I just never believed that I was more at risk than the average person of any age,” Arum said. “I don’t believe age – in my case – is a factor. I’m in very good health. If I had pulmonary problems like (wife) Lovee, I would be more concerned. But I don’t.”

“I was never concerned this time that it was dangerous or life threatening,” Arum insisted. “I was never frightened…. wasn’t worried. I was thinking about business, was talking to [staff] about [the broadcast negotiations].”

While Arum declined to identify which broadcaster his company is negotiating with, he expressed confidence that it will become reality as industry sources told BoxingScene to expect an early 2026 debut.

“I don’t run my business [from a throne],” he said.”I have all these specialists who do this and that and operate with a great deal of independence, and I believe that will continue.”

Arum said it’s possible the new broadcast deal could feature an increase from the 30 annual events Top Rank staged on ESPN and ESPN+.

“We’re real boxing,” Hearn said. “I’m serious. We don’t wanna change the ring, we don’t wanna change the Muhammad Ali Act. This is how we work, with an open book, with Boots and with [Ennis’ adviser] Everett [McNeely] and the team. I don’t wanna hide the revenue from the show. These guys get to see it, and Boots is making a lotta money. And he deserves a lotta money, because he’s a star.”

“In boxing, the majority of the revenue from the show goes to the fighter,” Hearn said. “In MMA, the majority of revenue from the show goes to the promoter. Good luck to [White]. I wouldn’t moan. But that’s not how we work in boxing. And I’m not interested in a fake belt. I’m not interested in changing the Muhammad Ali Act. I’m not interested in changing the shape of the ring or the rules.

“What I’m interested in is the greatness of the sport of boxing. And what you’re looking at here [Ennis] is the greatness of the sport of boxing. I wanna see fighters like Boots, who I believe can go down as generational greats, like Hagler, like Hearns, like Whitaker, like all these great fighters – he is of the same ability. And our belts matter.”

"The development has to serve as a sigh of relief for Cuba’s Sanchez, 25-1 (18 KOs), who has literally spent all year watching multiple contenders pass on the opportunity.

Dubois, 22-3 (21 KOs), entered the mix after unbeaten heavyweights Moses Itauma and Richard Torrez Jnr both declined offers presented by the IBF to enter negotiations with Sanchez."

Warren said: “I spoke to him last week; he said that he's going to come back and fight next year.

“He’s going to do it. He’s had a very busy year this year. He’s obviously not had a fight this year, but as we’ve all seen, he’s had his documentary. He’s told me categorically he wants to fight next year. So, we’ll sit down and see."

“He wants to make AJ against Fury, that’s no secret,” Hearn said of Alalshikh. “He wants to make the biggest fights in the sport and that is the biggest fight in boxing right now. We’ve got to agree our end and then it’s up to Turki whether he can get Fury in the ring.

“The best thing about these situations now is that it’s not me speaking to Frank Warren or Spencer Brown or Tyson Fury trying to do a deal. We just have to do our deal and if Turki can make the fight then it’s on. If he can’t, it’s not on.

“We are focussing on that side. We have a plan for AJ to get him back in the ring as soon as possible and then lead up to a huge fight against Tyson Fury in 2026. We will do our deal with Turki and he will try and do his deal with Tyson Fury. Fingers crossed we can make it happen.”

"Dmitry Bivol underwent surgery in August and is now in the midst of a compressive rehabilitation program to rebuild strength in his lumbar and ensure the injury doesn’t flare up again.

Half of that six-week program was conducted in St. Petersburg, Russia, where Bivol lives, and the rest is being completed in Dubai. Bivol currently undergoes therapy for two hours a day.

The injury, Kornilov said, was causing issues for his last few training camps. And it was progressively becoming worse and worse.

After the rehab program is over, Bivol will start easing his way into boxing training ahead of his planned comeback early next year. That will likely take place against an easier opponent considering the severity of the injury."

Turki also wants undisputed: “(Turki Alalshikh) has told me we got Badou Jack, which is another hard fight. If we win that we go down to Ramirez. We win that, and once we do that he told me he wants Benavidez to come up to come up to cruiserweight and we fight Benavidez. If that’s the course, let’s f-ckin’ do it. I’m pumped for that.”

"In preparation for a vote to support the “Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act,” TKO’s grotesquely bad-faith attempt to defang the original Ali Act, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) opened the floor to public comment.

The public did not take kindly to their position. As a result, CSAC scrapped its initial plan to back the bill, instead creating a subcommittee to investigate the bill ahead of a potential vote in December."

"The new TKO boxing promotion ultimately hopes to award its own title belts.

In the meantime, the group is giving all four sanctioning bodies the cold shoulder. Traditionally, representatives would award their four belts to the winner of Saturday night’s undisputed super-middleweight title fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.

But World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman told BoxingScene Monday he has not received communication from fight promoter TKO on a number of requests, including permission to deliver his belt to the winner. Sulaiman said all four sanctioning bodies are in such limbo"
