Eddie Hearn, a boxing promoter, shared details about Alalshikh's strategy in a recent chat with IFL TV. Hearn said:

"They want the two to have a comeback fight, and then, in my opinion, Turki Alalshikh will go straight to make AJ-Fury"

Alalshikh, who's the Chairman of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority, has been bringing big-name fights to Saudi Arabia. He's known for putting together events with lots of money behind them.

The plan is pretty straightforward. First, Fury and Joshua will each have a comeback fight. Then, if all goes well, they'll face off in the main event. This fight could happen at Wembley in the UK or in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Tyson Fury is currently retired, but he's still a big name in boxing, especially with Saudi backing. Anthony Joshua, on the other hand, has been keeping his head down and working on getting back to the top.

This fight between Fury and Joshua could be one of the biggest in British boxing history. It's got fans excited all over the world. The rivalry between these two fighters has been building for years, and now it looks like it might finally happen.

Alalshikh and his team at Riyadh Season are working hard to make sure this fight becomes a reality. They're hoping that by giving both fighters a warm-up bout, it'll build even more excitement for the main event.

If this plan works out, it'll be a big win for everyone involved. The boxers will get a chance to show they're still at the top of their game. Fans will get to see a fight they've been waiting for. And of course, it'll be a huge money-maker for the promoters and the host city.
