Dana White, the president of the UFC, shared his thoughts on the greatest boxers of all time in a recent episode of The Rushmore Podcast.
He noted that when considering boxers, he takes into account not only their athletic achievements but also business aspects. According to him, Muhammad Ali is at the top of his list, despite differing opinions on the matter. Following him are Sugar Ray Robinson, Floyd Mayweather, and Mike Tyson, who occupy the second, third, and fourth places respectively.
Additionally, White is the owner of the promotional company Zuffa Boxing and is currently actively preparing for an upcoming tournament that will take place at the White House. This event is scheduled for June 14.
At the press conference, White also stated that he does not rule out the possibility of Conor McGregor, a former champion in two weight classes, participating in the tournament. However, he dismissed rumors about a fight between McGregor and American Michael Chandler, emphasizing that this bout is not part of their plans for the tournament at the White House.
“Conor can definitely participate in our event. We have a great relationship, and we communicate often,” White added.
