Wed Sep 25 03:23:49 UTC 2024: ## Dana White Confirms UFC’s Entry into Boxing in 2025
UFC President Dana White has officially confirmed his long-awaited foray into the world of boxing, with plans to launch a new boxing venture in early 2025. This news comes after years of White teasing and then dismissing the idea, citing concerns about the state of the sport.
While details remain scarce, White hints at a unique approach to boxing promotion, highlighting opportunities he believes others have missed. He points to a lack of lucrative television deals and a potential for innovation in a sport often deemed “broken.”
This time, however, White is adamant that his commitment to boxing is genuine. He claims to have developed a plan to address the complexities of boxing promotion, including the Ali Act, which governs fighter rights and differs from MMA regulations.
White’s entry into boxing is anticipated to shake up the industry, as he brings his proven track record of success in MMA to the sport. He has expressed a desire to revamp boxing, stating that he’s coming in “guns blazing” with a vision to revitalize a sport facing challenges.
His initial foray into boxing is expected to involve Callum Walsh, a young boxer whose fight White witnessed in Dublin. The UFC CEO is keeping his plans under wraps for now, promising to unveil more details in the new year.
