Today is a major day for the sport of boxing maybe not seen since the Golden days and the future has now gotten a whole lot brighter.
The East and West continue to get closer in boxing.
A short time ago Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh and UFC head honcho Dana White shook hands and revealed their new UFC type league for boxing as per the following on X from Turki Alalshikh:
Today marks a new chapter in boxing history. I’m thrilled about this great partnership with those I consider the best for the sport. Together, we will elevate it to new heights.’
Ring Magazine on X divulged more on the new boxing league:
“ANNOUNCED: Turki Alalshikh and TKO have signed a multi-year partnership to establish a new boxing promotion with executive leadership anchored by UFC President Dana White and WWE President Nick Khan. The new promotion will feature:
