Three sport champion?
Alex Pereira is again this weekend (Sat., Oct. 5, 2024) at UFC 307 for his third Final Combating Championship (UFC) Mild Heavyweight championship protection towards Khalil Rountree Jr., which is able to go down inside Delta Middle in Salt Lake Metropolis, Utah.
Whereas “Poatan” is at present on one of the best run of his fight sports activities profession and has a killer in entrance of him this weekend, he has one other factor on his thoughts: boxing—extra particularly, UFC CEO Dana White’s new boxing promotion coming in 2025.
“I like boxing,” Pereira advised reporter Kevin Iole by means of an interpreter. “I’ve needed to battle in boxing for some time. I’m truly going to launch, within the subsequent few days, video footage of me sparring one of the best heavyweight boxer in Brazil. It’s a couple of years in the past, the video, however now I’ve gotten a lot better within the sport. Dana White made the announcement, and to be trustworthy, nothing was spoken of between us and the group. However I really feel the partnership will begin with me.”
Sadly for Pereira, the UFC head honcho advised reporters final week that he doesn’t need UFC fighters to crossover to boxing anymore and that his promotion can be fully separate.
But when there was a UFC athlete proper now who may make waves in boxing, it will be Pereira as a result of he would turn into a three-sport champion: blended martial arts (MMA), kickboxing, and boxing.
Jake Paul is off the desk, although.
