A proposed federal bill would give UFC president Dana White formal influence over professional boxing governance. Investigative reporting ties that draft legislation to White's decades-long relationship with Donald Trump and to a planned UFC event on the White House South Lawn. The reporting also documents White's efforts to launch a Saudi-backed boxing league and seek U.S. government support, a combination that could concentrate promotional power and create conflicts in match-making, rankings, and safety oversight.
