Fronted by Turki Alalshikh, UFC CEO Dana White and WWE President Nick Khan, TKO announced its entry into the boxing market in early March, yet little is still known about their plans other than their likely roles as lead promoters for the planned Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford bout in September.
Although some view TKO as a major threat to traditional boxing promoters, Matchroom's Eddie Hearn takes a different view.
"I think Dana coming into boxing is going to be brilliant for boxing," Hearn told Uncrowned during an in-studio appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show" on Tuesday.
