Dana White lashed out at a reporter for questioning him about changes to the Muhammad Ali Act at the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford press conference.

White, the head of the UFC, the leading organisation in mixed martial arts, has entered boxing with a new promotional company that is staging the Canelo vs Crawford superfight.

The UFC's current model in MMA, where it is the promotional company that also administers its own fighter rankings and world championships, is not permitted in boxing due to the Ali Act's measures to prevent monopolies taking hold in the sport.

However the changes put forward in the newly proposed Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act would among other things allow 'unified boxing organisations,' i.e. a promotional entity that could also run its own world titles.
