This isn’t precisely brand-new or red-hot information, with boxing insiders having apparently identified for a while. Turki Alalshikh, who continues to “take over” the game of boxing, has as soon as once more dipped his fingers into his famously deep pockets, this time to purchase “The Bible of Boxing,” Ring Journal. Alalshikh now takes the reigns from Oscar De La Hoya, who had owned Ring since again in 2007.
Alalshikh took to social media to put in writing about how we battle followers ought to “keep tuned for a brand new period for the Ring Journal.”
Set to return as a print journal, Ring has been working solely in digital kind for the reason that December of 2022 challenge. However what’s going to the “new” Ring journal be like, and might it ever be returned to the good, certainly number-one boxing publication on the market that it was once? There was a time when followers everywhere in the world trusted “The Bible” extra so than some other boxing journal, its rating of fighters being particularly trusted. There could have been a time while you your self, like me, by no means missed a problem.
Launched in 1922, Ring was for therefore many individuals – fighters, followers, casuals – the primary boxing journal they ever purchased and took house from the shop. So many nice fighters have graced the journal’s entrance cowl through the years, over the a long time, whereas the publication has had quite a few editors, reminiscent of Nat Fleischer, Stanley Weston, Nigel Collins, and Doug Fischer.
Will probably be fascinating to see what modifications Alalshikh makes with the journal and who he takes on as employees.
Go onto the Ring web site proper now, and you may be met with the phrases “Coming Quickly.” However what, precisely, can be coming quickly? Hopefully a darn nice boxing journal, that’s what. Right here’s questioning which fighter luggage entrance cowl standing with the primary new challenge…..
