Aaron McKenna will compete for the IBF middleweight world title against Etinosa Oliha within the headliner of their Dublin event next month. After which a number of weeks later, Conor Benn will challenge Ryan Garcia for the WBC welterweight title, despite the promotion referring to each fights as simply being for \u2018world titles\u2019.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul takes aim at Dana White over boxing belts<\/h2>\n

One in all Dana White\u2019s favorite inquiries to ask media who’re critical of his practices is that if he has ever lied about anything. It seems that his stance on the governing bodies in boxing is becoming one in every of the examples they will use going forward, as he appears to have modified his tune on them.<\/p>\n

Prior to the launch of Zuffa Boxing, the plan was to introduce \u2018Zuffa belts\u2019, starting with Jai Opetaia who seemed disinterested in the concept altogether. Now, he says that title fights will probably be on a \u2018case by case basis\u2019 based on \u201cwhat the fighters want and what their goals are.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is a very different stance, and clearly something has modified with regards McKenna and Benn who’re each bonafide Zuffa fighters competing for the IBF and WBC belts respectively. Jake Paul is one who noticed this, and took to X to provide his take.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went from s\u2014-ing on the entire boxing sanctioning bodies and the way they should eliminate them for the great of boxing to now this,\u201d Paul noted. <\/p>\n

\u201cTruth is we want to further align promoters and the sanctioning bodies to create the most important opportunities for boxers. That ought to be the goal. More transparency, more collaboration and more big fights.\u201d<\/p>\n
