Last night 11/6, UFC President Dana White said he would participate in the campaign to promote the Boxing Battle Battle between the two stars Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. The competition is part of the Riyadh Season project of the Director of the Arabic Arabic Entertainment Department of Turki Alalshikhkhikk on September 13 in Las Vegas and directly on Netflix.
Immediately when this information was confirmed, UFC fans struck the changes of the tournament and this decision of Dana White to a question: Can they be “abandoned” in September?
The reason for this question, because UFC has just announced the UFC 320 event – which is expected to be held in mid -September on the occasion of the National Day in Mexico, was moved to October, the reason for the Arena Guadalajara Gymnasium is repairing. At the same time, UFC decided to organize a smaller event during September to Texas, USA.
Until now, the audience realized that UFC had no plans to organize a big event in September. In August, UFC 319 will be the confrontation between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev. Then, until October the audience was watching UFC 320.
At this point, it can be confirmed that the match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford – the confrontation between the two absolute champions, two punchers in the top 5 best boxing in the current boxing village, will be Dana White's biggest job in September.
“Mr. Turki wants to organize the biggest boxing match that the audience wants and that is exactly what I want. Are you joking when the first boxing battle I promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? Is it a lifetime match once.”
Currently, the match canelo vs. Crawford announced the schedule of 3 press conferences across the ocean in Riyadh, Arab on June 20; New York on June 22 and in Las Vegas on June 27. A move shows that the boss of Turki Alalshikhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhikhhhhhhhhhhikhhhhhhhhhhhh.
In fact, the first Boxing match that Dana White participated in promoting was the classic competition between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. The match is considered a turning point for MMA boxers to invade the boxing floors later. This is also a match to save revenue in 2017 for UFC when Conor temporarily did not play in the tournament during that year.
However, unlike the case of Conor McGregor, Canelo vs Crawford is the first event that Dana White participated in promoting with the Zuffa Boxing brand, although there was no direct contract with these stars. This is also the first move when Dana White announced it would encroach into the boxing segment.
