Rick Glaser has brought the Fury–Joshua venue dispute directly to Turki Alalshikh, accusing Eddie Hearn of actively working against efforts to stage the fight at Madison Square Garden on November 20.
In his communication, Glaser characterizes the message as a blend of flattery, reporting misconduct, and a formal request for Turki to address what he describes as an unreliable colleague.
“Turki Alalshikh, you have a great event in the deep planning stage for November 20 on Netflix at the Mecca of Boxing Madison Square Garden in New York”And as you know,Eddie Hearn is attempting to undermine your great event,” said Glaser on X. “Whatever Hearn’s reasons may be, personal gain, or other motives, it’s causing havoc in Boxing circles, & the sporting public, especially with Hearn saying on video’s “I don’t care who this upsets” as he mouths off.”
“Turki Alalshikh, you deserve much better than you are receiving from Hearn in his lack of respect. Best regards from Sonya & I.”
The closing remarks echo the tone of a politely phrased recommendation, yet they frame a significant conflict. No evidence in the post suggests that Hearn is intentionally sabotaging the event for private advantage or another hidden purpose; he represents Anthony Joshua, who took the bout to a London stadium, whereas Turki and Tyson Fury champion the New York location.
As Hearn serves as Joshua’s promoter, he is obligated to challenge plans that differ from his client’s preferences—this does not constitute disloyalty. Nevertheless, the framing emphasizes disorder, the destruction of Turki’s vision, and a failure to acknowledge the sponsor’s contribution. Glaser projects an extraordinary degree of allegiance onto his correspondent, skipping the step of directing Haran toward appropriate authorities.
Upon closer inspection, the language underscores turmoil rather than neutral disagreement. The account casts Hearn as having weaponized the relationship, stoking controversy, and neglecting to express gratitude toward the individual whose backing makes the project viable.
