Jake
\nPaul<\/a> has called out Dana
\nWhite<\/a> over his softened stance on boxing\u2019s traditional
\norganizations.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Zuffa Boxing’s launch in 2025, White repeatedly stated
\nthat the promotion had no interest in doing business with the WBA,
\nWBC, IBF or WBO. However, following Zuffa Boxing 9, the promotion\u2019s
\nfounder acknowledged that they would work with the aforementioned
\norganizations depending on the circumstances, prompting a reaction
\nfrom Paul on social media.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul criticizes Dana White\u2019s changing stance on WBA, WBC,
\nIBF and WBO partnerships<\/h2>\n

When asked about working with the major sanctioning bodies at the
\nrecent Zuffa Boxing presser, White claimed that he\u2019s willing to do
\nso for certain boxers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a case-by-case basis, trying to figure out what the fighters
\nwant and what their goals are, we will try to figure out whatever
\nwe can do to make those fights happen,\u201d the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> CEO said.<\/p>\n

This drew an immediate response from Paul, who highlighted the
\napparent shift in White’s position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went from shi*ting on all of the boxing sanctioning bodies
\nand how they need to get rid of them for the good of boxing to now
\nthis,\u201d Paul wrote on X. \u201cTruth is we need to further align
\npromoters and the sanctioning bodies to create the biggest
\nopportunities for boxers. That should be the goal. More
\ntransparency, more collaboration and more big fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The change comes as Zuffa Boxing continues to expand its roster
\nwith signings such as Jai Opetaia, Conor Benn and Shakur Stevenson,
\nwhile also co-promoting the welterweight title bout between Ryan
\nGarcia and Benn on Sept. 19 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
