Things are really starting to progress with Zuffa Boxing. Dana White teased earlier this year that moves would be taking place for the project after this summer. This could be one of those moves.
According to Mike Coppinger of The Athletic, Dana White has hired someone to run the boxing division and help make it a major player. Shaheen Al-Shatti also added that he asked White about this at a recent media scrum, and White admitted he’s targetting October for the launch of Zuffa Boxing:
“Sources tell @TheAthleticBOX Dana White has hired a person to run his boxing division (unofficially referred to as Zuffa Boxing) as UFC president looks to enter the space. It’s unknown who the hire is, but person will be tasked with helping Dana make boxing venture a major player”
“Asked Dana White about this today. He confirmed a key hire has been made and said he’s targeting October for the launch of Zuffa Boxing. He wouldn’t attach a name to the hire, but I asked if it was someone boxing fans would be very familiar with: “I don’t think so. No.”
White commented on the plans for Zuffa Boxing during a recent UFC 240 media scrum this week. The UFC boss said he has had a ton of meetings with anybody who is anyone in the boxing world, and he still has more lined up:
“Listen, I told you guys, a year ago, however long ago it was, two years – I don’t remember,” White said. “But, I’m getting into boxing. I needed to take my time, do my homework. I’ve met with literally everybody who is anybody out there. There’s still a couple of more coming.
“I got a big meeting with a couple of English guys. We’ve pretty much talked to and met with everybody, and everybody wants to work with us. Everybody wants to work with us, everybody wants to be a part of it, everybody was more excited and open-minded than I expected, and I’m feeling pretty optimistic.“
When asked what will make Zuffa Boxing different, White was very confident in his answer. He’s going to break the current model and rebuild it:
“Cause I’m going to break the model and rebuild it,” White proclaimed. “The model is broken. We all know it. You don’t have to be a f*cking rocket scientist to figure that out. The model is broken, it needs to be fixed, and we’ll see if I’m the guy to do it.”
The UFC boss was then asked about UFC athletes possibly boxing as well, but White had zero interest in the idea:
“No, I’m not interested in that,” White said.

UFC President Dana White has provided the latest updated on his boxing venture.
The post Dana White Teases Launching Zuffa Boxing Soon appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Dana White teases launching his Zuffa Boxing promotion sooner rather than later, which marks the latest update on his boxing venture. The latest news that fight fans heard about the promotion came a few months ago. This was when White was briefly linked to heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. However, that got dismissed by the UFC boss quickly.
2018 is nearly in the books and the UFC President has yet to get Zuffa Boxing off the ground. Keep in mind that Zuffa Boxing or White has yet to announce any signed fighters, upcoming events or television deals. In the meantime, White can stay focused on the UFC.
Obviously, things have not gone to plan for White with this venture, which is expected. This is considering that he’s still at the helm of the Las Vegas-based MMA promotion. White provided the latest update in a recent interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto. This is where White stated that plans are still ongoing in order to get Zuffa Boxing off the ground.
“I had a meeting in LA yesterday. We are continuing to move forward. We will absolutely, positively be in the boxing business,” White said (H/T to Bloody Elbow).
The UFC boss continued by stating that he just bought a building next door to the UFC headquarters where they have big plans.
“Soon,” White replied when asked about a timeframe. “I just bought the building next door here. We’re building a $12 million facility. We’ll basically have our own arena.”
Those big plans are to hold any kind of fights you can think of. This is from boxing to MMA to even kickboxing. Impressive.
“We’ll be able to put fights right here next door and air them live anywhere in the world. I can do MMA fights, I can do boxing, I can do kickboxing, I can do jiu-jitsu. I can do all kinds of different fights and tournaments. We’re going to do a lot of things.”
This led to Okamoto bringing up former middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin being a free agent due to HBO getting out of boxing. Thus, when asked about, White sort of avoided the question, which is fine. However, he did note that he wants to sign top names and elite contenders.
“If you know how I run my business and what I like. Yes I want all the best boxers in the world,” White said. “I want them all to fight each other and find out who the real champ is. That’s what we’re going to do.”
