White will be looking to change the landscaping of boxing as he will be taking on the promoter duties for the new TKO promotion in partnership with Turki Alalshikh. The new promotion was unveiled, but there has not yet been a definitive date for when and where they will host their first event.

During his latest appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, White expressed his displeasure with the long break between each fight on a boxing card. The UFC CEO promised that fans won't experience that with his promotion and mentioned that they will be treated to the best live event experience when attending his events:

"You know how I run shows. The live event will all change. It will be much better than anything you've ever seen before. You won't have one fight and then a podcast happens. And then another fight happens 45 minutes later and you see four fights in six hours. All of that stuff is gonna change when we start running the show."
