Riyadh Season, Top Rank agree on official partnership

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority, today announced an official partnership between Riyadh Season and Top Rank designed to continue to drive the promotion of world-class boxing events globally.

The partnership will use the power and reach of both organizations to elevate the sport. Riyadh Season will have a presence across a host of Top Rank bills, both in the build-up and on fight night.

Riyadh Season will sponsor 12 Top Rank events selected by the promoter during the remainder of this year and 2025.

Top Rank is one of the most prominent promoters in the boxing industry. For more than 50 years, it has staged high-profile events in landmark settings around the world featuring some of the all-time greats, including Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya, and Manny Pacquiao.

Over the past 12 months, Riyadh Season has established itself as a key player in boxing, having hosted a string of world-class and innovative cards, including the first undisputed heavyweight title fight of the 21st century between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

It will now look to expand its reach into the U.S. market with its first-ever event overseas on August 3 when Terence Crawford and Israil Madrimov go head-to-head for the WBA and WBO Interim World Super Welterweight titles at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
