Due to mind numbingly repetitive bullshit of US born fighters inventing reasons to avoid fighting the best in their division, along with the sports media being replaced by insufferable fanboys pushing false narratives for clicks, is why US boxing is a shadow of itself!

In my humble opinion, Turki Alalshikh was not too happy after giving David Benavidez a layup against Yarde in Riyadh and then seeing him turn down fights with Artur Beterbiev and Jai Opetaia. After The Ring amplified Beterbiev’s comments and barely touched Sampson’s rebuttal, the message seems clear, put up or shut up.
They were even trying to set up Opetaia vs Mikaelian to get Jai a belt and remove Team Benavidez’s excuse that he brings nothing to the table. Instead, Team Benavidez went to the WBC to request and ultimately mandate Mikaelian instead of fighting Jai.
This could also be a coordinated and calculated move by Beterbiev, given he has never been vocal about criticizing his potential opponents.
