White, the chief executive officer and president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has transformed the sport since he took over in 2001. He first ventured from MMA into boxing when he co-promoted the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor because the Irish fighter was contracted to UFC.

White has contemplated the idea of Zuffa Boxing for years but said this past weekend he’s finally decided to commit to the sport. Tyson sees White’s involvement being a positive and believes he’ll play a big role in putting together fights the fans want to see.

UFC CEO Dana White promises boxing updates for early 2025, says "now is the time" to finally make the move into the sweet science.
