The UK’s powerhouse has begun talks with both promoters. This could lead to Dana White working alongside Jake Paul.
In early 2018, UFC boss Dana White revealed that, after years of teasers with Zuffa, he will be entering the boxing world, in partnership with Turki Alalshikh, the consensus saviour for the sport.
They then hosted their first event in September of this year, which promoted one of the most important boxing matches of the century: Canelo alvarez vs Terence Crawford.
Not long after their first event, TKO boxing announced that they had signed a huge broadcast deal in the United States with Paramount, following the UFC’s new broadcast deal.
And now, talks have begun for not only White’s TKO boxing, but also Jake Paul‘s Most Valuable Promotions to be broadcast in the UK.
