Riyadh Season announces partnerships with Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, announces that Riyadh Season will have new partnerships with Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions.

This agreement  between Riyadh Season and Golden Boy Promotions will begin with the interim WBC super welterweight clash between champion Serhii Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs) and undefeated Vergil Ortiz Jr. (21-0, 21 KOs) on Saturday, 10 August in the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

This comes a week after Riyadh’s US season opener on August 3 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, headlined by the clash between Terence Crawford and Israil Madrimov, with Eminem performing before the main event.

On the Top Rank side, it was announced that together with Riyadh Season, they will work together on 12 events during the rest of 2024 and in 2025. Riyadh Season will have a presence in many projects with Top Rank, both in the preparation of the fights and on the cards.

These new partnerships are in addition to those that Riyadh Season currently has with the two largest promoters in the United Kingdom: Matchroom and Queensberry.

Riyadh Season has hosted some of boxing’s biggest cards, including the first undisputed heavyweight title fight of the 21st century between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
