Is UFC parent company Endeavor looking to enter the world of boxing?
That’s the claim made by veteran boxing reporter Rick Glazer, who dropped a bombshell on the martial arts world on Christmas Day.
Promised everyone a Christmas present, never printed, never talked about, biggest boxing news in years, Boxing Powerhouse #TopRank is in final stage of due diligence to be sold to entertainment conglomerate #Endeavor headed by #AriEmanuel, Endeavor is the parent company of #UFC and #WWE, translated means after 58 years in boxing, 92-year-old @BobArum is retiring, and @DanaWhite is now entering the #Boxing business with the purchase of Top Rank. Look for boxing stalwart and friend of #DanaWhite @TomLoeffler1 to have a major role in Top Rank once the buyout goes into effect. Now that is mega news in the world of boxing!!! I hope you enjoyed your Christmas gift! Please repost.
According to UFC CEO Dana White, that’s not happening. “Absolutely false,” White wrote on social media. “We are not going to buy Top Rank.”
Meanwhile, Arum was contacted by boxing journalist Dan Rafael, who reported on X:
We’ll let you know if it looks like Endeavor is acquiring another sports property.
