The first such fight could be Teofimo Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) in Alcatraz prison. But there are also possible evenings under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, in the Roman Coliseum or inside one of the Mexican pyramids. Options and ideas abound among Saudi sheikhs.

"What would you say about a fight taking place in Alcatraz prison? Today it's more of a museum than a prison. I'm thinking of different places. Maybe an evening in the mountains, maybe among the pyramids in Mexico, on the Eiffel Tower in France, in the Colosseum in Italy. Do you get my idea? We are considering various interesting places," stated Turki Al Al-Sheikh.

During further questioning, the Saudi prince revealed that the first evening of its kind could take place at Alcatraz prison, and the main event could be a fight between Lopez and an unnamed opponent. A possible date could be late June and July. Earlier, Richardson Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs), the IBF bantamweight champion, was named as the most likely next opponent for Lopez.
