Quite notably, this announcement snubbed UFC President Dana White, whose TKO boxing was originally set to co-promote the event alongside Alalshikh. Sela&rsquo;s sole promotion underscores Saudi Arabia&rsquo;s growing dominance and popularity in boxing&rsquo;s biggest stages. Which has left Dana White&rsquo;s involvement out in the dust. <\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJzW74GotU0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
