Dana White on Zuffa Boxing delay: ‘I’m still dealing with’ speed bumps
UFC president Dana White aimed to have Zuffa Boxing formally off the ground by October, but we’re well into December with nothing to report.
What’s caused the delay? Well, let’s just say that Dana is pretty tight-lipped on the specific details.
In a pre-UFC 245 interview with Yahoo’s Kevin Iole (video at the top of the page), White promised that Zuffa Boxing is coming along, but they’re dealing with some challenges.
“Like in all businesses, there’s potholes in the road and speed bumps that you have to deal with,” White said. “I’m still dealing with that stuff. Once I get all my ducks in a row, I will announce [Zuffa Boxing].
“We’ll do a press conference and we’ll get this whole thing rolling.”
