This Changes Everything 

There being so many belts is exactly the reason someone can be a world champion and you have never heard of them 😂

lowest ranked fighter at the end of every season gets called into the embassy and never seen again.

Saudi money doesn’t talk it shouts!

WBC Silver ginger continental belt. Uncle you make me laugh . Quality content

Boxing super league??? Love that idea

The problem is if you look at a unified organisation like the UFC the fighters make peanuts and the ownership make bank. Boxers already have a history of being exploited, and it's only likely to get worse if they dont have the ability to negotiate with leverage.

"Gold and silver franchise fridge magnet, that no one gives a f**k about." (I've just nearly spit my pint out. 😂😂😂)

"I didnt want to be in the league anyway" 😂

It's never good when one man owns everything but this belt circus must end.

The best fight the best. No ducking

Turkey needs to EMPLOY PROPA to promote his fights.

"Silver ginger continental belt" had me cracking up lol

A kind of "super League" for boxing already existed in the form of the Muhammad Ali Trophy, tournament-style competition whith all champions & top contenders of a given weight class. (Notable winners being dre Ward, Inoue & Usyk himself). And it absolutely delivered imo. Idk about the saudi plans but a 'league-style' tournament in boxing (/ fighting sports) is unfeasible, but I'd love to see another tournament to unify the belts in at least one weight class

Boxing has a long history of association with dubious bankrollers, the Mafia, Don King the convicted murderer, Kinahan cartel and brutal dictatorships like Zaire's Mobutu, now it's the Saudis turn. That's boxing for you, still love the fight game though.

With the current model of boxing everyone's a champion. That's what puts people off boxing is the incredibly complicated system as everyone has a belt and most of them you've never heard of it. Simplify it and make it like the UFC model where you have 1 champion per weight division and all the ranked opponents need to face each other to get a shot at the champion.

Should just do tournaments in certain weight classes that need it every year.

I don't know about a boxing super league, but when I saw Usyk holding up a belt that said Undisputed that Turki gave him, made me wish that there was only one belt per weight division. I wish there was a way for Turki or anyone else to merge the four different sanctioning bodies into one.

As a fairly casual boxing fan, I don't care about belts at all. I just want to see the best fight each other.

Fantastic idea, at present you can have world champions who fight nobodies and avoid the fighters that all fans know will be dangerous to them, to avoid the risk, but they still claim to be the best in the world. Hope it happens, one world champion at each weight

BOXXER has their route to Saudi through CBS. If he unifies, the double excellent will have the undisputed with Opetaia in Saudi no doubt. Really looking forward to see what this league is all about. Best vs best, sign me up. Launch it on your own platform and your laughing. No offense, DAZN, TNT, ESPN etc etc, but this could truly be the one subscription for all the boxing id need. Heres hoping the league wont ignore the smaller names coming through., but based on him getting Mark Chamberlain over, I have hopes plans will be in place to make sure they wont be forgotten.

I have followed boxing a long time and never concerned myself with percentage of governing bodies but wtf explains a proppa lot cheers proppa ❤❤

Propa's on the payroll :( Great atmosphere in Saudi isn't it 😢

This guy is single handedly saving boxing!

Dear Unc’ just wanna say this channel is the golden dildo of any boxing channel out there. Just started listening to the podcasts. Fucking good gear!! Big up Propa boxing!! Bish bash bosh 🥊🥊

A bangon vid this . The Super league would indeed be rid of the greed from the WBC. The latest and most obvious case for corruption was in the face of the world when a WBC judge gave the Usyk Fury fight 117 - 112 to Fury . It's now at the point of blatant corruption because noone challenges it. Bravo for calling this out in such a diplomatic way. Bangon

One of the things i like about UFC is that people dont get binned as soon as they take a loss because the best are fighting the best. Whereas boxing has so many journeymen to pad fighters records and make them seem invincible.

100% about telling friends about title fights who havent followed boxing in 30 yrs

Saudi fights are fire tbh. The stage, Arena, the walk out setups. Fury’s ring walk was the best I’ve ever scene. They’re cinematic.

The idea you suggested about drug testing is bang on the money Propa💯🥊🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s mental when you think about the old era fighters who fought at the top level every 3 weeks with records of 186 fights or something. Guys like Archie Moore who was still fighting champions at the age of 65! With gloves that barely had any padding and rules and refs that didn’t stop the fight until someone was half dead and sagging on the ropes. Boxing back in those days was insane!

His Excellency has a good idea, and if Frank and Eddie are onboard the others will be wise to follow.

Say what you want but Prince Turki has, so far, done nearly everything right and may be saving boxing and making it great again. Utter dream cards and fighters actually fighting each other in their peaks every 3 to 6 months so we really really see who rises to the top not by 2 bouts over 2 years to carefully chosen styles etc. Turki making boxing great again! MBGA!

The Turkey is truly excellent

2:12 Never seen Voldemort crack up like that before

So some guy from Saudi Arabia gets to choose who is in the top 15. So if you are from yemen in houthi controlled area, are gay, or critised the Saudi government etc. Will you be banned. I'm not sure what their opinion on womens boxing is. UFC is also terrible for the rights of fighters, this is not good for boxers and in the UFC there is still cherry picking, the same if not more steroid etc. use and they don't fight more than modern boxers either.

IBO starting to look more legit by the second. Great video, as always Uncz. BOSH!

About fucking time someone stepped in to clean up the boxing mess!

They should take a leaf out of the old WWF and have midcard belts, like the Intercontinental Championship, European, Hardcore and Divas titles

Why-TF not?! Thank you Turkey👌

That’s almost as many different belts as Man United has football kits

About time too. C'mon Turki.

I know this might be a stupid take, so just try to hear me out. What if boxers fought with other boxers in the same country to compete in earning a title in their own country. Then, later on, champions of other countries can compete on winning a world title. Again, this is probably a stupid idea, but this randomly popped in my head, lol

If it gets everyone actually fighting eachother, that's great

The only downside I see with this right now is that it will create a monopoly. It might be the solution for fixing the boxing circus at the moment, but it will eventually and inevitably go down the shitter like any other monopoly always does.

There needs to belts. It gives fighters something to aim for. How many active pro boxers are there? 300,000, maybe? Most of them will win NOTHING. What's the point of a career of 30 odd fights, you're better than 99% of boxers and you can't win anything. Footballers get to win up to 4/5 trophies every year, golfers 4 majors, countless tours, tennis, players 4 majors, countless tours it goes on. Boxers, they put theirt life on the line to mostly win...... FA!

I am that friend who knows nothing about boxing, saw on RU-vids the other day “Ben Whittaker in IBF International light heavyweight title” and I thought “bloody hell I thought he just did all that mucking about for Instagram but he’s in an International (world?) title fight? i need to see this!” Then all the comments are saying he’s going to come unstuck when he fights a British or European title fight. Totally confused. Fridge magnets indeed.

Get weight cutting out of the sport as well. Weigh in the night before and another as they walk out. A weigh in on the way to the ring can be a feature of the fight, and have back up fighters just in case. The fighters that miss weight don't get paid a penny and after a while fighters that screw up and miss weight just won't get fights booked, that'll spark a change in attitude from fighters and we'll get better fights.

Ive dreamt of this for boxing. Having less belts is fine. it works in UFC and people get excited for non title fights all the time.

But what does it mean for the lower level fighters that don't have a huge following yet? This only sounds like a good idea for the ones who are already household names

Here is my 2 cents. There is this super league with their own belts. Call it the TBL (Turki Boxing League) or what ever. When you win a belt you have to defend it with in 4 months. You can only fight for a TBL belt in a TBL fight, no other belts from other boxing associations can be on the line in a TBL fight. TBL fights are simple 80/20 split on the purse, 80 to winner & 20 to loser. Change the scoring system to stop draws. The TBL fighters are allowed to take other fights outside of the TBL but champions will be locked into that 4 month defend clause. Winning purses for TBL championship fights will be paid on the next TBL fight. This will stop a fighter scooping a big payday, the belt and never coming back to the TBL.

Strap in for the boxing revolution!!!

nice explanation Propa, cheers

Its a bad idea. The champ cant fight all other 14 in the league, as that would take 7 years. Also.... Eddie wont give up his ring masters role, he loves it too much. This is gonna end up splitting boxing even more in the long run. Imagine Eddie sells up and one year later he starts up Matchroom 2.0 to compete in a new league (sorta identical to the format we have today 😉).

Frank warren writes your game changing scripts

He is my excellency!!!!

What turkey says turkey does 😂 such a great man for the sport I just can’t get over his name 😂 mashallah brother 😂

Im sorry ben dont look at me in that tone of voice its not my fault your name wasn't mentioned 😂 had me creased uncle propa great work as always bruv 💙👊✌

Unify all the major belts, make it clear who's the best of the best and have the best fight the best. I'm all for it.

Aka what mma has always had with pan-craze, pride and the UFC better stop holding on to that 0 losses supremacy-mentality boys😂

Technically there are more mma organizations than the UFC thats just the biggest

This is how the UFC started, and eventually what it became is a promotion that doesn't pay its fighters near what they're worth. I like the idea in principle. It just needs to be managed in a way that benefits the fighters before anything else.

If anyone knows the UFC politics, matchmaking, pay etc. this is just gonna be a rehash of that but with 1000x the money being thrown around.

Boxing is partly entertaining, partly fighting skill. More belts = more entertaining while with one belt, we will be entertained only once a year. So why take the belts away if he is making the good fights? The fights are more relevant if they are for some shiny belt. Lets stick to more belts :) Also - Saudis are not known to be like a solid democracy or something. Would you give them all the boxing in the world and then (maybe Turky leaves) they fkitup big time? I don't trust this!

I like the idea of the best fighting the best. However, the beauty of the mandatory system is that styles make fights and that's how upsets happen. When Buster Douglas beat Tyson, he wasn't a top 15 fighter so he wouldn't have been part of a boxing super league. Same goes for Leon Spinks when he beat Ali. Same goes for Michael Spinks when he beat Holmes. And so on. Upsets are what make the HW division particularly intriguing and this would be lost under a super league type of system.

Can see this playing out like Gilberto Ramirez wiping out my weekend 1477-1 accumulator in the early kickoff with a shock KO loss to Viddal Reily. 😬

Mr Shubbly Tuck Tuck already owns Warren & Hearn's so why would he feel the need to buy all of their boxers? As for Shalom, its a Ranger v Celtic thing so Benny Boy & his boxers would not be allowed anywhere near the top table so his stable of boxers would eventually jump ship and join the Shiekh for nothing

I think its mad that casuals moan about atmosphere when we are getting the fights we want, the only difference is saudi dont serve alcohol to sniifed up yobs that provide the atmosphere we are used to in the uk or us. Like it or not saudi have changed the game for the better and provide elite fights thats boxing fans want and are paying the fighters plenty to save avoiding the politics that have hindered boxing for decades. As a true boxing fan i dont watch boxing for atmosphere i watch it for great fights!!

Pauli malignaggi just knows if there was 1 champion he would’ve never been a champion 😂. UFC, ONE and other mma promotions have shown 1 champion per division works

Absolutely needs to happen. Boxing has been cannibalising itself with these belts and sanctioning bodies for some time now. The idea of being a "world champion" is completely meaningless if there could be hypothetically 3 other fighters claiming to be the "real" champion, because they have a different coloured belt. It's so hard to be undisputed not only in a boxing sense, but a bureaucratic sense too, all the bodies want a piece of the pie. Scrap them all, why should we be loyal to them? What loyalty do we owe to them? They don't give af about the fans

I don't know if buying all of the major promotions is going to do anything about the sanctioning bodies.

This will be bad for media as there will only be the fights to talk about. And less anticipation

Love to see it happen. Unfortunately over half the “ champions “ out there will all of a sudden find enough $ to retire. Boxing has become a joke. I’m afraid that no matter what Turk does he can’t stop corruption. Paid off refs and judges are the main weapons of the promoters and regardless of what you pay them the promoters can offer a little extra to see things their way.

Rather than buy out the promotion companies, why not buy all the sanctioning bodies. Then they’ll have the power to enforce exciting mandatories and can actually make the champions fight each other. That achieves the same goal as the league without having to make a complicated league structure

Buying up the promotions is less helpful than buying up all the belts, then binning them. You need promotors to sell fights, most fighters are not gobby salesmen, so you need a mouth to get people excited. Its all about priorities, getting everyone paid and fairly, getting excitement and atmosphere and lastly getting everyone shiny belts imo.

Hell no. This is not at all, not in the least, good for boxing. This is the worst possible thing for boxing to occur in a long time. The fact you think it is a good idea goes to show how utterly clueless you are about the politics, and I don’t mean boxing politics.

I said this on one of your videos not long ago. Turki to come in and set up a ufc model and fvck the alphabets off.

It was not that long ago when all the problems you talked about were not around and there were mutiple belts back then and mutiple promotions, boxing needs changes. Striping the rights and money away from boxers UFC style is not it, let alone they still have all the problems you talked about they don't fight more, there are protected fighters and from what I've heard the steroid etc. use is more prevalent in the UFC.

There’s absolutely zero chance. BUT, imagine The Ring belt but if it actually had power and pockets to make the best fights ? They’d have to let Turki in if there was a Riyadh belt and he could position fighters and maneuver fights so that a gd mandatory actually meant something. He could then create a way to keep those with his belt actively engaged with boxers of others belts to ensure a revolving door of the best talent. Otherwise, buying out basically all of Vegas just isn’t feasible. Boxing in the states has regulatory oversight via the government for starters. Good luck with that. It’s not about money. These goobers are public servants. You’d fully eliminate their assignments. Plus I think you’re heavily underestimating the characters backing boxing In vegas haha like… HIGHLY overlooking that aspect. And the history of boxing in Nevada as well as the players. That we know of. It’s not just the belt systems. It’s the hotels. The venues. The investors. So many more moving parts. There becomes a point where you can be wealthy and throw money at problems but if the goal is to transform the image of the region through sport, they have a path WITH the involvement and relatively hands off approach from Turki. Of he wants to do this, it sounds less in line with their goal and more just to control more of the sport. Thats just my own speculation and of course not knowing the directives or guidance of the their project. For instance you didn’t see formula 1 get bought entirely by anyone in that region. But oil money did indeed buy a few teams and seats in important places with a few more races in the region. I could see this being a purposeful moon shot to negotiate down to making their own belt as mentioned. Not to mention boxers aren’t active enough in the slightest. UFC fighters as contenders fight minimum 2x a year and an active champion will go 2-3. But you wouldn’t need to address that if Turki made his own belt that stood above the rest that was most revered , could have more financial incentives or atleast no fee. Imagine how happy boxers would be simply not paying a toll haha.

Yes! Bret and Jemaine!!!!

In theory it will be amazing. No ducking, no politics just pure boxing and proper recognised champs. And all those leaches like wbc sulaiman can get lost. But the only problem is that it can become a monopoly and some fighters will never get a chance to win the championship

1 belts works perfectly in the UFC. I don’t see why it can’t work for boxing, other than money reasons

There needs to be change the UFC model is not it. That causes less rights for the boxers, a lot less money for the boxers, less freedom to do what they want. The UFC model is horrible for fighters and isn't any better for fans, as fighters are still protected, the number of fights is around the same as modern boxers which is low compared to the past and drug use is rampant.

This would be brilliant The best finally fighting each other And the drug cheats gone for good

Boxing super leagues will be a great for the sport, The boxers will get paid great money, and the fans will watch great fights.. Bring it on

Cheerio? I feel robbed wheres the Bosh! keep it up uncle Propa

The football champion changes just once a year...as well as BB champion and most other sports. And yup, it happens so, that many teams never become a champion. But if the rules are fair then it depends on them, and in this case there is no one to blame. It looks to me that it's actually much more likely now to not get a well deserved title shot. It begins way earlier actually, with "your style is not entertaining" or "you're not from the USA/Britain/Mexico, so we can't earn money on you" and hundred more reasons.

The 1 belt thing doesn't concern me, it works perfectly fine in the ufc. Why not boxing. Most guys there get their opportunities to win gold despite champions fighting once or twice a year. Dustin Porier has had 3 title shots lost them all, and is still beloved and respect by hard-core and casual fans alike.

feel bad for boxing fans. that your turkellency guy may be the man to fix boxing

Three cheers for the double excellent, Turki Alalshikh…

The main 4 are pump they have let their greed spoil boxing so aye it will be great if Turki does it.

Great for boxing and boxers but very bad for the promoters pockets 😂😂😂

When you think about it, the belts have very little real value at all, as Tyson was suggesting in the clip. Yes famous fighters have won them in the past, but where did the belts actually come from? Who invented them? Famous former fighters? No. Lawyers and businessmen mainly, who you've probably never heard of. They literally met in a boardroom one day and said "Let's create our own boxing belt, why not?" and the rest is history. As I said, they have very little real value at all

Every time I try and explain the belts to my wife she responds with, “That sounds stupid”. And I’m forced to say, “Yup”.

It's simple, no more hype to decide if a boxers good or not. From now on a boxer credibility is based on a points system determined by who he has fought and how he won...BOSH! 1 point if the opponent was just a tomato can with 2 wins and 60 losses on his record, regardless if you KO him in a round. 10 points if you beat a Crawford by SD, 15 by UD and 30 by KO. That type of thing. This would stop somebody like Wilder being thought of as a GOAT just because he KO'd loads of nobodies and was overhyped to death by Finkle and Arum. Under the points system he would literally only have been a journeyman having beaten almost nobody of note.

Fridge Magnet belt looooool

Dillian won the WBC Silver title against Helenius back in 2017

If it's more like the UFC model then it should be done. The best will have to fight the best then

WBC is now probably the biggest joke in boxing, scrap them all and have 1 world championship belt in each division, If it’s not defending against top ranked guys within 6 months strip them and put it up for grabs between the top ranked 2, pure and simple

If this happened the RU-vid lot could buy out Ben lol

Theres so many more professional boxers around than there professional mma fighters. This is why its alot harder to have the ufc model in boxing. The four sanctioning bodies have been needed tbf but i agree, if the Saudis can find a solution for the better then lets ave it me'ol mukkka!!
