Turki Al-Ash Sheikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, pounced on Saul Alvarez with criticism.
"I heard Canelo say that he respects me, but he doesn't like the way we do business. As far as his respect for me, it doesn't matter to me if he respects me or not. As for how I do business, I know why he doesn't like it, because I only target big fights at fair prices, so of course anyone who likes easy fights won't like that. And I know how he feels after his loss to Bivol, so he's been looking for easier fights ever since. Besides, I'm not someone who is afraid to fight Benavides or Crawford. So I knew he was wasting our time and making excuses for large sums of money that can't be repaid. So I continue on my path to make big fights that will benefit the boxing world and he's on his way to making easy fights that are just for show," Turki wrote on social media X.
