Conor McGregor and Turki Alalshikh, two prominent figures in combat sports, have ignited speculation about a potential blockbuster fight following a series of cryptic social media interactions. Alalshikh's enthusiastic statements about 2025 being a 'crazy' year for boxing, coupled with a red boxing glove emoji, have fueled fan theories about a possible matchup with McGregor.
Conor McGregor has labeled Turki Alalshikh a 'living legend' following a puzzling exchange between two titans of combat sports. The Irishman's response was triggered by a Ring Magazine post that featured Alalshikh's statement that 2025 will be a 'crazy' year for boxing. Alalshikh later reacted with various emojis, including a red boxing glove, fueling speculation that the pair might be collaborating on a massive fight.
\This comes on the heels of McGregor's recent third fight against Dustin Poirier, which took place during his second stint in the UFC after a year-long break to make his professional boxing debut against the legendary Manny Pacquiao. Despite losing via TKO in the tenth round, McGregor walked away with over $100 million, making 'The Money Fight' the biggest crossover fight in history. Alalshikh seems to be heavily invested in the future of boxing, having also been involved in recent high-profile events. In December, he hosted the highly anticipated bout between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, which the Brit lost via unanimous decision, failing to avenge his first defeat to the Ukrainian last May. \Alalshikh continues to express his desire to see Tyson Fury back in the ring, stating, “And I want to see Tyson, maybe with Joshua or something, we will decide. Let’s see what can happen, everything in Riyadh Season is realistic...The most important thing is the fans enjoy it.” Fury's retirement announcement has left the boxing world in uncertainty, with Alalshikh's cryptic posts adding to the confusion. Adding fuel to the fire, Alalshikh recently posted an Indian flag emoji in response to an article claiming he had agreed to a boxing match with Jake Paul for a staggering $500 million. Numerous figures in the combat sports sphere, including WWE superstar JBL, have expressed interest in stepping into the ring with McGregor, should Paul decline the offer
