Prepare to be amazed as we dive into the unexpected boxing past of Dana White, the UFC boss! Dana White, the successful businessman, once dreamed of a career in professional boxing. But here's where it gets controversial... Dana White, the UFC's fearless leader, has a hidden history in the sweet science of boxing. While working as a humble bellhop in Boston, he embarked on a boxing journey alongside former Golden Gloves champ Peter Welch. Despite his amateur bouts, Dana's boxing dreams faded as he feared long-term brain damage, a haunting reminder of a 'punch-drunk' boxer. Fast forward to today, and Dana White, the combat sports mogul, has launched a new boxing promotion, Zuffa Boxing, with Turki Alalshikh, the savior of boxing. Their inaugural event featured a massive clash between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. But recently, social media erupted with footage of Dana White in his boxing prime, sparring in his gym. Fans were in awe of his skills, with one commenting, "He's a true boxing enthusiast at heart." Another fan exclaimed, "His defensive boxing is better than 75% of MMA fighters!" Even Dana's potential rival, Oscar De La Hoya, got a mention, with a fan saying, "He's not half bad!"
