In a recent turn of events, UFC President Dana White has expressed his concerns about the venue for the highly anticipated Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford fight. After the announcement of this clash of boxing titans, White didn’t hold back, saying, “I hate it” when discussing the choice of venue for the event.
White, who has always been a vocal figure in combat sports, made it clear that he’s not a fan of the venue where the fight is set to take place. While the specifics of his objections remain a bit unclear, his frustration is evident. Dana White has long been an advocate for top-tier fight locations, and his remarks seem to suggest that the chosen venue doesn’t meet the high standards required for a fight of this magnitude.
Canelo Alvarez, the reigning boxing superstar, is set to face Terence Crawford, a formidable force in the sport. The match-up is a dream for boxing fans, with both fighters being considered among the best pound-for-pound in the world. Fans are eager to see these two legends go head-to-head in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
However, the venue choice has overshadowed some of the excitement surrounding the fight. For White, who has built the UFC around its larger-than-life events, the location may just be another example of how certain venues fall short of the grandeur expected in world-class boxing events.
As the fight approaches, it will be interesting to see whether the venue choice continues to be a talking point or whether the action in the ring will take center stage.
