Dana White has officially been removed as the promoter from the super middleweight title clash of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford. Turki Alalshikh recently confirmed the date of the bout has been moved from September 12 to 13, which falls on the same day as UFC 320 in Mexico.
Alalshikh had initially announced that the fight would take place at the 65,000-seater Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home to the NFL side the Raiders.
Now it is confirmed that Sela will handle the event for Riyadh season, which was initially set to be promoted under the TKO Boxing banner. With a legacy of over 25 years, Sela has played a significant role in developing Saudi Arabia’s entertainment scene.

Dana White reveals gruesome foot injury suffered by Melquizael Costa after UFC Vegas 106 win
Dana White shared a story about a brutal moment from UFC Vegas 106, which showed a deep foot laceration suffered by Melquizael Costa following his victory against Julian Erosa.
Even though Costa left the octagon celebrating alongside his people with no visible signs of injury, the aftermath told us a different story. White shared an image of Costa's bloody left foot, which had a severe cut that went unnoticed during the broadcast.
This was Costa's fourth straight win, which cemented his spot in the featherweight rankings. Despite his energy, the cut required prompt medical attention, and Costa was taken to a nearby hospital to get treated.
