Dana White attributes boxing complications to UK resistance
Summary

Dana White claims that opposition to his involvement in boxing is largely coming from the United Kingdom. He made these comments during the latest Dana White's Contender Series presser, where he noted that traditional boxing promoters are pushing back on his role due to 'ego.' White stated that boxing has diminished in popularity in the United States and become more of a British sport. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are scheduled to fight on December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, amid uncertainty about the bout's location. The involvement of streaming platform Netflix and promoter Turki Alalshikh has complicated the situation further.
