Dana White revealed how she plans to run a up-to-date league of TKO boxing promotion, which Alalshikh started with Turki. White says he will build it from scratch using the UFC model as his success plan.
Dana intends to sign warriors to the league, and they will compete and fail, just as warriors in UFC do. He says they get rid of five different sanctioning bodies and will simply have one for their league. In boxing, it will not be impossible to control the entire sport with the league. It does not work in other companies and will not work in boxing.
Even if Dany receives all the best fighters, if they intend to compete with other great warriors, they will not last long. How can they?
Risk containing a career
Fighters excluded from this boxing league will continue to track four sanctioning bodies, fight with Dazem and will be signed with popular promoters who are now conducting sport. They will not give up the fight just because they were not chosen in the league.
Being in a league in which a handful of high -quality fighters will repeatedly face exhausting fights, will probably shorten their career. Imagine fighters such as David Benavidez and David Morrell, competing four or five times with each other in the boxing league, which follows the UFC model. How about Shakur Stevenson struggling with power, such as Gervonta four or five times. After these fights, there would not be many Shakur.
Their careers can be shortened because of the punishment they endure. Yes, this is entertainment for fans, but there will be hell for fighters who will become repetitive tough fights. Carrying bookies are much more severe than in UFC. If I were a boxer, I would not like to be in the league where I always fought the “best” every time. You can’t do it in boxing without a quick end of your career.
“People want to see great fights. Boxing has become the one in which you must be invincible so that people can care for you. It will all disappear – said Dana White The first shot of ESPNTalking about your up-to-date partnership with Turka Alalshikh in order to create a boxing league.
“There are many guys that we look at, who will be on this leaves that have many Oh. Everyone will fight with each other, and what people want to see are great fights. They want to know who is the best in the world. “
Is this “the best”?
If Dana White and Turki fighters sign this up-to-date boxing league, they will only fight with other guys in this list, as they prove that they are “The best in the world?“This is not the best. All they really do is prove that they are the best in this league with a narrow number of fighters who compete. It seems that what Turks do now works better, choosing great fighters, signing them for brief contracts and creating fascinating fights. You don’t need an isolated league to do such things.
It is like AFL, which ran separately from the NFL in 1960–1970. The only thing when the teams from two leagues played each other were Super Bowl. In the season you do not have teams from AFL teams playing NFL teams until they joined in 1970. Creating a boxing league in which fighters compete only with other warriors in this league. The idea does not work better than the current situation in sport.
“I implement elementary things, the best fight,” said White. “There are many talents that we look at now, which nobody knows about. I would like to build it from scratch, just like us from UFC. When we originally bought UFC, we had twelve contracts. You started to have everyone who matches everyone. When you get to the top five, you can’t deny who the best five guys in the world are, and then everyone is fighting to see who the world champion is. “
How can the first five in a tiny league be called the best in the world when you talk about a narrow pool of fighters? White says he started from 12 and claims that the first five was the best in the world? What is he talking about? They are only the best in this tiny company, but not in the world. Thanks to this boxing league, if they compete only with other warriors in the league, you can’t call them the best.
The way it happened in the current system were fighters from the highest ranking, mechom, golden boy and PBC often focused on establishing fighting with guys in this promotional company. It was like four or five different leagues. This up-to-date league with Dana White and Turki is simply more the same thing we have seen. The only difference is that Turki has more money to lure good fighters. If they intend to only compete with a narrow number of guys in this league, it will not be as engaging as now.

Saturday’s fight with Keyshawn Davis and Edwin de Los Santos was officially canceled after Keyshawn did not reach weight on Friday and was deprived of his lithe WBO title. Davis (13-0, 9 KO) weighed 139.3 pounds, i.e. 4.3 pounds above the limit of 135 pounds.
Abdullah Mason Modern Headliner
The fight of Abdullah Mason with Jeremia Nakathila will be moved to the place to Headliner on Saturday evening to save the show to the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Mason has an invigorating combat style that makes him a perfect substitute for Keyshawn. When entering the fight, some fans perceived him as a worthy main header over Keyshawn.
Incorrect lithe pretender No. 2 WBO, Mason (18-0, 16 KO) comes from Ohio. This is not perfect to be the main event. However, the brothers Keyshawn, Kelvin and Keon Davis, are still on the card, and this will satisfy the crowd of Norfolk. Given that the Saturday event is shown at ESPN and ESPN+.
Keyshawn accepted a lot of criticism from fans for the missing weight. Many of them believe that he intentionally came to overweight to gain an advantage over the demanding punchating of Southpaw de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO).
What rejected the fans was Davis said that he was going to be his last fight at the age of 135 and that he moved to 140. In addition, he did not have the physical appearance of a warrior who pressed on the weight.
Davis: Miss unprofessional weight
“You should make a weight. Why did you sign a contract for 135 and placed the title on the line if you knew that you were not going to start?” Tim Bradley said WarriorResponding to Keyhawn Davis, who does not earn weight today.
Davis has never left his weight before during his tiny four -year professional career. In his last three fights he seemed to be bigger and looked like a weight class.
“It’s very unprofessional. You should do this weight. If you crawl on all fours to the scale, I say:” Damn, he tried to endure weight, but it was too much for him. ” But he didn’t crash on the scales at all, “Bradley said about Keyshawn.
Keyshawna size
The difference in size between Keyshawn and De Los Santos was noticeable during the last press conference on Thursday. After looking at Keyshawn, it could be said that it did not seem that he even began to take off the weight. However, de los Santos looked out of skin and skeletal.
“He is a immense 135-pound and was all his [4-year] career. However, he was busy, “Bradley said about Keyshawn. “It’s not like he was sitting for two years. He went from the camp to the camp. He should be able to bring this weight or get closer to this weight.”
Considering that Davis was already planning to leave a slight division, there was no reason for him to go through the bell, to go down to 135. However, if it was intended, he did not understand that the fight could be canceled.
“Four pounds are embarrassment, an senior. One pound, I understand. I understand some ounces, maybe even two pounds. But three pounds, four pounds and no, no. It’s not professional, senior. It’s bad and it’s unfortunate. Shame, shame, keyhawn. You dropped the ball here,” said Bradley.
Ego led Davis to failure
Lack of 4.3 pounds makes Keyshawn look bad. Is it on his part that prompted him to understand the response of fans? It can be. He seems to be a narcissus, and his victory over a cushioned opposition, which fed the highest rank, seemed to come to his head.
