White has long criticized the boxing business model for not pitting the best fighters against each other. White said the new promotion aims to do that, with both rising talent and current stars.
“The model is proven to deliver the fights that the fans want to see. The best will fight the best, and the fighters will continue to move up the rankings and become world champions,” White said in a video posted on X. “We will continue to make announcements on where you can watch and all the rest of the details of the business as we get closer to the launch. I’ll see you soon.”
