Dana White and Turki Alalshikh have officially announced the creation of a new boxing league, under the name of TKO Group Holdings. The league aims to modernize a sport that is perceived as traditional, seeking to achieve exponential growth similar to that experienced by the UFC in recent years.

However, various media outlets have reported that friction has begun to emerge between the two businessmen, which would be reflected in White‘s exclusion from the promotion of the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford

Dana White praises Donald Trump for five minutes

Regarding the rumors accusing him of not promoting the highly anticipated fight between Alvarez and Crawford, Dana White has spoken out, noting how boxing works behind the scenes, highlighting his active role as a promoter.

Alalshikh had previously announced that the undisputed super middleweight title fight would take place on September 13 and would be promoted by him and White. However, he later revealed that Sela will promote the fight as part of the Riyadh season, raising questions about White’s role.

We have confirmed that the promoter of the Canelo vs. Crawford fight will be Sela for Riyadh Season. We have not yet decided on the network that will broadcast it, but the date will be Saturday, September 13. More details to follow

What happened to Dana White?

When asked why he would have been removed from his role as promoter for the Canelo Alvarez fight, White responded emphatically:

“I’ll tell you what’s incredible, man. There’s a lot of fucked up stuff in boxing, but nobody says shit. I mean, nobody talks. It’s the most amazing thing. If we sign a deal, I have to grab the damn phone right away and say, ‘Hey, we just…!’ Because there will be 90,000 people talking about it. But these guys don’t say anything. I’m promoting the fight.”Dana White

Where will the Canelo Alvarez vs Terance Crawford fight take place?

The location for the fight between Saul Alvarez and Crawford has not yet been defined, but everything indicates that it will be in Las Vegas. Likewise, rumors of a bad relationship between Dana White and Alalshkush have been dispelled, as the Saudi businessman has repeatedly praised White’s work in the UFC

Mourinho acaba con el pleno del Oporto mediante un empate a cero

Mourinho volvía a Do Dragao, un estadio que solo había visto ganar a su equipo esta temporada, pero un clásico es un clásico y pudo pasar de todo. Sin embargo, no ocurrió prácticamente nada y los goles se quedaron para el partido de vuelta, ya en el Estadio Da Luz.La presión en el inicio del encuentro por parte de Samu y Borja Sainz dejó claro que que lo que estaba en juego era mucho más que los tres puntos. En varias ocasiones le costó salir con el balón jugado a Silva, que lo pasó mal durante gran parte del partido. A pesar de la insistencia y los intentos de uno y otro equipo, el peligro no llegó hasta pasado el minuto 30, cuando Sudakov la pegó de tiro libre y Diogo Costa se estiró sin mucha dificultad para blocar el […]
