UFC president Dana White teases huge new boxing venture
UFC president Dana White has teased a venture into boxing in the coming weeks.
"The world of boxing hasn't been able to do what I've been able to do [in MMA] over the last 20 years," White told BT Sport this week.
"If they can't do things when the world is normal, you can't expect them to do things when the world is crazy.
"I peeked under the hood a lot there for the last year. Looked at different things and I said, 'I don't know man, I don't know if this is fixable'.

"Funny enough, since the pandemic I've been looking at other options too.
"And we'll probably have something to announce here soon. Yeah [it is in the world of boxing].
"When it's time, I'll let you know, I'm not ready yet. But [it'll be] in the next couple of weeks."
Since becoming president of the UFC in 2001, White has built up the promotion into a valuable global brand and the pinnacle of MMA competition.
