Given his strong relationship with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, O’Sullivan is current in Riyadh for the big fight. The Riyadh Season Snooker Championship is currently underway in Saudi, hence why ‘The Rocket’ is present during the Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury fight week.
