Dana White on Boxing: "I Want to Break This Sport and Rebuild It"

UFC president and TKO boxing head Dana White has revealed his ambitious plans for the sport of boxing in the coming months.

- Turki said that this fight could be the first for your promotion.

- Which one?

- Crawford vs. Canelo.

- Look, my overall model is different. Turki has commitments for the next 18 months. But I want to break this sport and rebuild it—just like we did with the UFC. I’m on a different path.

- Will you work with other promoters like Oscar De La Hoya or Eddie Hearn?

- I don’t know. I don’t know how it’s going to work. We’ll see.

White has previously expressed reluctance to collaborate with other boxing promoters, emphasizing his goal of restructuring the sport on his own terms.
