While specifics are still limited, White has alluded to a plan to reduce weight classes and implement a singular title per division, bypassing the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO.
This undertaking has sparked worries that prominent boxing figures, including Hearn and Warren, might be pushed aside by TKO.
In a live chat, Alalshikh remarked: “Last week, we introduced the TKO Boxing League alongside Dana White.
“Our focus is on establishing a league that provides opportunities for fighters while connecting with fans.
“We have a multitude of ideas that I plan to unveil at the right moment for Dana to share.
“This league is not aimed against anyone; I don’t believe it opposes the commission or the promoters.
“This is a collaborative project, and there will be a niche for it in the market. The four belts, commissions, and promoters will still be present.
“The potential market is vast, and no one can simply eliminate anyone else from this landscape.

“Eddie consistently communicates with me and my team to facilitate significant global fights.
“He has opted to maintain a partnership with us, and we will persist in doing business with him.
“Moreover, we are actively negotiating with Golden Boy to feature some of their fighters on different fight cards.
“My team and I are always open to collaborating with boxing promoters, provided they offer us advantageous options.”
