Former British boxing star Amir Khan is all in on Dana White’s boxing takeover.
After helping turn the Ultimate Fighting Championship from a fledgling promotion into a global juggernaut, the UFC CEO is now determined to fix the sport of boxing by using the same model that helped make the UFC a multi-billion dollar business. Well, that and Turki Alalshikh’s seemingly endless supply of money.
Last month, White announced that he was getting into business with Alalshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, to kickstart a new boxing promotion.
