“I am getting into boxing, 100 percent,” White said to the . "I’m not leaving the UFC. I’m getting into boxing with [WME/IMG head] Ari [Emanuel] and the UFC will be doing boxing, too. It’s still early. We’re still working on it. I’ve got to get my [stuff] together, but I’m getting into boxing, man. It’s coming.”

There is no word at this time when the boxing promotion will debut or who will fi🐟ght on the cards.
