UFC MAKES IT OFFICIAL THAT THEY WILL PROMOTE BOXING
Los Angeles, CA (November 8th, 2017)– The UFC is “getting into boxing, 100 percent.” That’s the official word from UFC president Dana White, who announced the company’s plans to the Los Angeles Times at boxing coach Freddie Roach’s Wild Card West gym in Santa Monica on Tuesday.
“No, no, no, I’m not leaving the UFC. I’m getting into boxing with [WME head] Ari [Emanuel] and the UFC will be doing boxing, too,” White said. “It’s still early. We’re still working on it. I’ve got to get my s**t together, but I’m getting into boxing, man. It’s coming.”
There’s no word yet on who he’ll work with when it comes to TV partners, other boxing promoters, or boxers themselves. No time frame has been discussed yet.
“We’ll see who’s interested when I say let’s do this,” White admitted. “It’s harder than saying we’re getting into boxing. We still have to get some homework done. I feel like I can do it better than everyone else. I love the sport. If you look at what we’ve done over the last 15 years, we’re not afraid to try new things.”
