Dana White is set to deliver the biggest fight in boxing for a second year in a row.
The UFC CEO transitioned to boxing to promote Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford last September.
Since then, Dana White has launched Zuffa Boxing and put on several low-level shows at the UFC Apex.

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua gets its promoter
Dana White was in Newark, New Jersey, for a wild press conference ahead of UFC 328 on Thursday.
After Khamzat Chimaev kicked Sean Strickland, the UFC boss headed to a local cigar bar to relax.
While there, White conducted an hour-long livestream on KICK with MMA influencer Nina Drama.
The MMA mogul revealed his key role in the biggest boxing fight of 2026 during their conversation.
“This is the busiest year of my career. I’m gonna be traveling everywhere,” White said.
“I’m focused on Zuffa Boxing hardcore this year, signing all these guys and putting on great fights.
“We did a deal with Sky in the UK. There will be great fights on Sky.
“I’m doing the Tyson Fury – AJ fight, too. I’m gonna be promoting that.”
Dana White’s feud with Eddie Hearn
Eddie Hearn won’t be happy to hear his biggest rival is promoting Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua.
The Matchroom Sports Chairman has been working with Joshua since the start of his pro career in 2013.
Hearn had the same relationship with Conor Benn until he signed with Zuffa Boxing earlier this year.
Turki Alalshikh, who owns the rights to Fury and Joshua’s Netflix super fight, is known for outsourcing promotional work to White, Hearn, and other high-profile boxing figures.
It’s currently unclear if Hearn has agreed to allow White to promote his star client’s next fight.
