UFC CEO Dana White was put to the test when he attended the press conference for Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford, and it almost came to blows. At first, there was no sign of White at the event, causing concern among fans. However, he arrived just in time to prevent a fight from breaking out.
When Canelo and Crawford faced off again in New York, tensions were high. Canelo became agitated when Terence got too close, forcing him to push him away. But White was quick to intervene, stopping the potential brawl before it started. This time around, he made sure the fighters kept a safe distance from each other.
The highly anticipated boxing league announced by Dana White and Turki Alshikh has been met with mixed reactions from fans. In an interview, White claimed his new plan is “way different” from traditional boxing, aiming to “fix” the sport. He also stated that he wants to rebuild boxing like the UFC did, but this time on a much grander scale.
