People might have their complaints about fighter pay or other controversies, but Dana White is unbeatable when putting on jaw-dropping events. He is a visionary and a genius, taking a sport that was once dismissed and barely followed and making it a global powerhouse. As UFC CEO, after years of dropping hints about entering the boxing world, White now appears ready to go all in. Meanwhile, before making his move into the boxing world, he defended the sport against claims that it’s losing relevance.
Undoubtedly, the UFC is thriving, especially compared to boxing, and the Canelo Alvarez vs. The Sphere event highlights that difference. White’s promotion grabbed the next headlines and pulled in big numbers. Many are claiming that boxing’s golden era has ended, with the sport fading and attracting only a niche fan base. Now, with Dana White stepping into boxing, it raises questions. However, the business mogul has defended the sport, saying he has plans to turn things around.
In his words, “I have a plan. I’m going to implement that plan, and we’ll see how that works… People have been talking about the demise of boxing for 30 years. And we’re still here talking about boxing right now. And I have always had an idea of how I thought it should be done. I don’t know if that’s possible, but we’re going to find out. I’m coming in guns blazing.”
While he has not disclosed the specifics yet, he said that the details will be released in 2025. For now, fans are definitely excited to see him enter the boxing world.
