Dana White speaks on the Boxing League format

After making the groundbreaking announcements through social media, Dana White revealed what the structure of the new league would look like. While speaking about how the league would function, he said:

“There’s zero speculation on the format, you know the format, everybody knows the format. The best fight the best. You work your way up the rankings and once somebody gets to the top five, there’s no question who the best five guys in the world are in each weight class, and they fight it out, and once somebody holds that belt, you don’t need three letters in front of the belt. Whoever has the belt is the best in the world in that weight class.”
