Turki Alshikh has confirmed that Dana White will still be the main promoter for the biggest fight of Boxing after initially a split.
UFC CEO White announced earlier this year that he and Alalshikh would launch TKO boxing later this year. Their first event was planned to be a super fight between undisputed champions Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford.
However, when Alalshikh claimed that Saudi -Outfit Sela would promote the competition instead and failed to mention White, it was fans who expected the MMA Supremo. Now it seems that they have picked up their differences and had a big announcement tomorrow.

“It is the fight of the Riyadh season, and we have a deal with TKO to promote it and it will go the biggest fight in boxing, and tomorrow I think I will tell the details and the platform and the place for this fight, me and Dana.”
Dana White cannot remember when he last spoke with Turki Alalshikh
Despite all these polite features on social media, it seems that White and Alshikh have not had much in contact in recent weeks. Asked by Bloody Elbow When the couple last spoke, he could not remember exactly how long it had been.
'I don't really know [what happened]”He said about a potential gap between the couple after the tweets of Alalshikh.” Listen, when we are working at the UFC head office, I am in my own small world, man. I don't pay attention to that kind -.
“I know what's going on, I know what we are doing, I don't really pay attention to things like that. I don't care … S …, I don't even remember the last time I spoke with him [Alalshikh]But we are good. We are very good. “
