The Takeover is Official: Tyson Fury Confirms Turki Alalshikh Will Promote Him Until He Retires By LatestBoxing.com Staff In a monumental development that has fundamentally shifted the landscape of heavyweight boxing, former two-time champion Tyson Fury has officially announced that His Excellency Turki Alalshikh will act as his sole promoter for the remainder of his professional career.Taking to his personal Instagram account, "The Gypsy King" shared images alongside the Saudi General Entertainment Authority (GEA) chairman with an unambiguous caption: "@turki the promoter of the GK. Till I retire."The Split from Queensberry and the Dana White AllianceThis shocking announcement marks a definitive end to Fury’s long-standing promotional partnership with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, who guided the heavyweight through the majority of his historic modern run.The bombshell comes less than 24 hours after Fury made a high-profile appearance at the UFC Freedom 250 event. While attending, Fury teased a "massive, massive, massive announcement" alongside UFC CEO Dana White. White and Alalshikh have actively been building a new boxing powerhouse under the Zuffa Boxing banner, and Fury’s alignment with them signals the ultimate power shift toward Riyadh-backed operations.Clear Skies for the Anthony Joshua Super-FightFury immediately used his new promotional alignment to stoke the flames of domestic rivalry. He posted a face-off graphic featuring himself, Alalshikh, and arch-rival Anthony Joshua, calling it the "biggest fight in boxing by a mile."Before the historic "Battle of Britain" can fully materialize later this year, Joshua must first handle business against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25. Assuming both men navigate their immediate hurdles safely, Alalshikh now holds all the keys to finally stage the most anticipated heavyweight clash in British boxing history.Photo Credit: The Ring Magazine
