The decade -long conflict between Dana White and Paulie Malignaggi is well documented, although the former champion has aroused the heat in his last tier.
Last week UFC CEO Dana White sent shock waves through the Combat Sports World when he announced the creation of a new Boxing League in collaboration with Turki Alalshikh.
The suggestion is that TKO boxing will not work with other boxing federations or promotions when it comes to contracts and rankings – what former world champion Paulie Malignaggi is asked 'scorched earth'.

Paulie Malignaggi fragment Dana White's new boxing company
In a video posted on the ProboxXTV YouTube channel, Malignaggi launched a 20-minute anger about Dana White and his new boxing company-specific in question with the theory that hunters are 'blocked in' in a banner.
“This is why I think he is deceptive with the competition. In MMA he is the one who has brought that WWF type competition where if you have signed with the contract, you are blocked – you can't fight against fighters from outside that promotion.
“If you remember far enough, MMA was open … It was an open market like boxing, which means that you have your promotional stable entity, but you can fight against fighters of other promotional entities.”
Malignaggi argued that an open market offers the chance for cross-promotional superfights to come together; And the attitude of that white to solo will essentially hinder such matchups to be made in the future.
“Now, just because MMA fans are a little bit a lower IQ on the totem pole and they don't get that part, does not mean that those other hunters do not exist … It would not surprise me if the hunters he signed to these contracts have no compensation at all; that they cannot be in it [other] rankings.
“The TKO promotion will have its own rankings, have its own belt, and if you do, you create a competition – regardless of how much you want to play on words.”
Paulie Malignaggi continues to take swipes at MMA fans
Malignaggi is certainly not the only boxing legend who is unhappy about White's new company, in which Oscar de la Hoya admits that he was offended by part of the TKO box announcement.
'That's what I mean about the deceptivity of this guy [and] Not only because MMA fans do not have the intelligence to find out, “the former world champion continued.
“They never had it because a man has been a well -known liar for years, does not mean that boxing fans are so stupid … We know that promoters lie, even promoters such as Bob Arum.
“In boxing we know that promoters lie [but] In MMA, when Dana says something, the fans are stupid enough to believe everything he says – even if they know he is lying for the past 20 times in succession. “
According to reports Online, the first TKO boxing event will only take place in 2026, which means that there is enough time to worry; What do you think of taking Malignaggis?
