His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority, announced an official partnership between Riyadh Season and Top Rank on Monday.
The partnership has been made to ensure that the promotion of world-class boxing events continues to thrive globally.
As part of the partnership, Riyadh Season will have a presence across many Top Rank cards, both in the build-up and on fight night. Riyadh Season will sponsor 12 Top Rank events selected by the promoter across this year and 2025.
The announcement comes on the same day as Riyadh Season announcing a partnership with Golden Boy Promotions.
Bob Arum's Top Rank is one of the most prominent promotion outfits in the boxing industry, having featured boxing legends such as Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao and more.
Over the past year, Riyadh Season has made itself an important player in boxing, having most recently hosted Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury, which decided undisputed heavyweight supremacy back in May.
On August 3, it will establish its reach in the U.S. market with its first event overseas in Terence Crawford taking on Israil Madrimov for the WBA and WBO Interim World Super Welterweight titles at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
