Turki Alalshikh revealed Riyadh Season’s intriguing vision for a welterweight tournament that could captivate boxing fans over the course of the next 13 months.

Alalshikh, owner of The Ring and the head of Riyadh Season, issued a statement to his 7.1 million X followers early Saturday morning that specified plans for the winner and loser of a tentatively arranged rematch between 147-pound rivals Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney.

According to Alalshikh’s timeline, the winner of a second Garcia-Haney bout would face whoever wins another proposed welterweight showdown which would pit IBF welterweight champ Jaron “Boots” Ennis versus Ring and WBO junior welterweight champ Teofimo Lopez. The Haney-Garcia and Ennis-Lopez losers would also face each other on a subsequent undercard.

“It is easy ... fight in may then the big rematch in October,” Alalshikh wrote on X, “and in the same card we will try Teo against BOOTS then the winner against the winner and loser against loser in February [2026] ... need to discuss with our partners top rank and matchroom and goldenboy and PBC.”

Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc. promotes Lopez, whereas Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing has Ennis under contract and has worked with Haney. Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions represents Garcia.

Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions is aligned with WBA welterweight champ Eimantas Stanionis (see below).

As Alalshikh previously posted via X early Thursday morning, Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs, 1 NC) and Haney (31-0, 15 KOs, 1 NC) have agreed to take fights against separate opponents as part of a card tentatively scheduled for some point in May in the United States. Their opponents have not been secured, but unconfirmed reports have indicated Haney will square off against former WBC/WBO 140-pound champ Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs), of Avenal, California.

If Garcia, of Victorville, California, and Haney, of Henderson, Nevada, emerge victorious from those interim matches, they would meet in a very marketable rematch sometime in October in Saudi Arabia, as the opening event of Riyadh Season. It would be then, as Alalshikh mentioned, that Philadelphia’s Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs, 1 NC) and Las Vegas’ Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) could box, presumably in the co-feature.

Garcia dropped Haney three times and defeated him by majority decision April 20 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The New York State Athletic Commission changed Garcia’s victory to a no-contest because Garcia tested positive for ostarine, a banned substance usually used to cut weight.

The 26-year-old Garcia, who came in 3½ pounds above the contracted limit of 140 pound for his fight with Haney, was also suspended for a year and fined $1.2 million by the NYSAC. His suspension will end a few weeks before Garcia would return to the ring on the same card as Haney.

Lopez declined Top Rank’s offer last week to face former IBF junior welterweight champ Subriel Matias (21-2, 21 KOs) in an ESPN Pay-Per-View main event March 15 in Las Vegas. The former unified lightweight champ informed Haney during an X exchange Friday afternoon that he deemed Top Rank’s offer of $2.8 million guaranteed unacceptable.

Garcia, Haney and Lopez were among the boxing stars that met with Alalshikh in London last weekend as part of the festivities for the inaugural Ring awards gala at Old Royal Naval College.

Ennis, meanwhile, was one of the few industry luminaries that didn’t attend that event in London. He could oppose Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs, 1 NC) next, but talks among their handlers have not yet led to an agreement for that tantalizing 147-pound championship unification fight.

If Ennis and Stanionis square off, the 2016 Lithuanian Olympian could disrupt the abovementioned blueprint for Garcia, Haney, Ennis and Lopez.
