Head of Zuffa Boxing Dana White has vowed to sign the ‘best fighters in the world’ while delivering the biggest fights in boxing after announcing a new ground-breaking UK broadcast deal with Sky Sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The multi-year agreement will mean at least five shows per year on UK soil and raises the curtain on a new era for the sport on Sky.<\/p>\n
Zuffa Boxing was launched in 2025 and is headed up by UFC president and CEO\u202fDana White\u202fand WWE President and TKO board member\u202fNick Khan.<\/p>\n
“It’s not rocket science, we want to put on the best possible fights with the best fighters in the world,” White told Sky Sports of the promotion’s philosophies.<\/p>\n
“Everybody’s undefeated in boxing, that’s going to change over the next couple of years. You know, if you look at how the UFC was built, I took everything that I loved about boxing and everything that I hated about boxing when building that business.<\/p>\n
“So if it works so well for the UFC, it should work even better for boxing.”<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without boxing,” he explained. “Boxing is where it all began for me and, I was training guys and in the boxing business and I started taking jiu-jitsu.<\/p>\n
“Then through that, I started to manage some fighters in the UFC. I found out the UFC was in trouble and that it was for sale and me and my partners bought it back in 2001.<\/p>\n
“Fast forward to today and here I am getting back into the sport of boxing, which I always believed I would. There was a few years there I wasn’t very sure, but I love the sport and I think that me and the team that I have built can do some good things for the world.”<\/p>\n
White has praised the ‘pivotal role’ played by the UK throughout the history of boxing, paying tribute to the loyalty and passion of its fans.<\/p>\n
He has zero doubt over Zuffa’s ability to replicate the success of the UFC, setting his sights on delivering big-time boxing to its existing fanbases while also introducing new eyes to the sport.<\/p>\n
