We are almost two years removed from UFC president Dana White announcing his intentions to get into the boxing business. So far nothing has really happened, but that could soon change in a major way.
The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger revealed in a Q&A that there is very much truth to the rumors that Endeavor, the UFC’s parent company, are looking to buy Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions.
“Rumors are true,” Coppinger wrote. “Al [Haymon] held several meetings with Ari Emanuel about a potential deal where Al would still be majorly involved the same way Dana [White] is with UFC following that deal with Endeavor.
