Dana White Dismisses Sean Strickland's Boxing Aspirations Amid Pay Dispute

Dana White has responded to Sean Strickland's callout for a boxing match, emphasizing his reluctance to allow UFC fighters to crossover into boxing while Strickland continues to negotiate his contract.

Sean Strickland recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the UFC's pay structure on Instagram, calling out Jake Paul and Jai Opetaia for a potential boxing match. Dana White addressed Strickland's comments during a stream on October 9, stating that he does not support the idea of UFC fighters transitioning to boxing.

White acknowledged Strickland's toughness but firmly stated that a fight against Opetaia would not happen. He has consistently opposed crossover fights, previously stating that such matchups do not align with UFC's interests. White also mentioned a potential fight between Opetaia and Deontay Wilder, which could occur on the undercard of the upcoming Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury event.

Strickland's ongoing contract dispute with the UFC has intensified, as he demands a higher payout for his next fight. Reports indicate he requested $1 million for a bout against Nassourdine Imavov, while the UFC's offer was significantly lower. Strickland has made it clear that he will not fight until his contract situation is resolved.
