Dana White is finally stepping into the boxing world.
After years of teasing a move into boxing promoting, the UFC CEO announced last week that TKO Group, the UFC’s parent company, will start a boxing promotion in partnership with Turki Alalshikh and the Saudi Arabian government. White vows to bring the UFC model to boxing and fix what he deems to be “broken.” It was a big announcement that had many pondering on the future of the UFC and the sport of boxing.
Will White find success in the “Sweet Science”? Can he make a meaningful impact on the sport? Is TKO Group getting involved in too many sports?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George react to White and Alalshikh’s big project and what it means for combat sports as a whole.
