Dana White and Turki Alalshikh in talks to launch new boxing league in Saudi Arabia

Dana White is in advanced talks with Turki Alalshikh to launch a new boxing league. This marks a significant shift for White, who has focused on MMA as the UFC president for over 30 years. Alalshikh, known for promoting major boxing events in Saudi Arabia, aims to unify the sport under one governing body. This would simplify the boxing landscape, making it easier for fans and promoters. White recently hosted his first boxing event in Dublin and has managed boxing prospect Callum Walsh. The collaboration with Alalshikh follows successful UFC events in Saudi Arabia, including a record-breaking event in September 2024.
