Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President, Dana White, just can’t take “no” for an answer. Sure, his reality show featuring up-and-coming pugilists was shit-canned after just one episode, but he won’t let that be a deterrent to creating a brand-new promotion.

While White appeared to be aggressively pursuing new talent in the “sweet science” when he announced his new endeavor back in late 2017, not much has been heard on the boxing front in the months and years that followed.
“I am making all my boxing moves after this summer,” White said during a recent interview with CNN Sport. “When this summer is over, you’ll be hearing a lot about what I’m doing in the sport of boxing.”
White was reportedly chasing heavyweight phenom Anthony Joshua, to the tune of $500 million across multiple fights, but conveniently denied the pursuit after the power-punching Brit took his services elsewhere.
With Joshua, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder all locked up with rival promoters, it’s hard to know what White has in mind for those aforementioned “moves.”
Time will tell.
