Alex Pereira Eyes Boxing Crossover After UFC Success

Alex Pereira, the UFC's reigning light heavyweight champion, is enthusiastic about Dana White's recent announcement to venture into boxing. Pereira, who has achieved significant success in both kickboxing and MMA, expressed his desire to transition into professional boxing, potentially leading White's new boxing promotion. Despite no formal agreement with Dana White, Pereira believes he could spearhead this initiative and has already started sparring with professional boxers like Igor Adiel and Khalil Coe to prepare. Pereira's ambition includes fighting at heavyweight, potentially facing notable figures such as Jon Jones or even Jake Paul. This move could not only bolster Dana White's new project but also challenge the prevailing notion that MMA fighters can't compete in boxing.
