Although details are still scarce, White has suggested plans to streamline weight classes and establish a single title for each division, bypassing the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO.
This initiative has raised concerns that significant boxing figures like Hearn and Warren may be sidelined by TKO.
In a recent live chat, Alalshikh stated: “Last week, we launched the TKO Boxing League in partnership with Dana White.
“Our aim is to create a league that offers opportunities for fighters while engaging with fans.
“We have numerous ideas that I intend to reveal at the opportune time for Dana to announce.
“This league is not aimed at anyone specifically; I don’t see it as a competition against the commission or the promoters.
“Rather, this is a joint endeavor, and it will find a unique space in the market. The four belts, commissions, and promoters will continue to exist.
“The potential market is immense, and no one can simply erase anyone else from this landscape.

“The collaboration between Riyadh Season, Ring Magazine, and the promoters will continue for at least one to two years.
“This will depend on the feedback they provide us and the opportunities they present. If they benefit us, we will proceed.
“Currently, I admire what Matchroom and Eddie Hearn are accomplishing.
“Eddie consistently engages with me and my team to enable significant global fights.
“He has chosen to continue collaborating with us, and we will keep working with him.
“Furthermore, we are in active negotiations with Golden Boy to include some of their fighters on various fight cards.
“My team and I are always open to partnering with boxing promoters, as long as they present us with favorable opportunities.”
