Dana White to shift gears to promote boxing match

According to BoxingNews.com, UFC president Dana White is in talks to promote the Canelo-Crawford fight.

The news comes amid TKO Group Holdings Inc. launching their recent promotion to shake up the boxing industry.

White is on record expressing that he does not desire to work with currently boxing promoters Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya. Perhaps White is looking to come into structure boxing like he has done with the UFC.

There have been some concerns, with suggestions that White may seek to repeal the Muhammad Ali Act, which is designed to protect fighters by allowing them to see the breakdown of a particular show.
