Dana White believes Ryan Garcia can become the face of boxing with an impressive victory over Conor Benn.
The Zuffa Boxing and UFC boss shared his thoughts ahead of Saturday's card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
White told Babcock he will attend both Noche UFC in Arizona and the boxing match in Las Vegas on the same day.
"I'm goin' to both," he said.
When asked if Garcia would become the face of the sport with a win, White replied, "Yeah, I mean, I think if he goes in there and wins impressively, there's no doubt about it."
White recalled how Garcia and Tank Davis broke through with younger fans.
He remembered his son hosting friends in San Diego to watch a Garcia fight, noting that the pair connected with that demographic.
More than three years later, White is promoting a Garcia fight. He suggested there could be more business between them in the future.
White also teased other topics in the full interview, including a potential Garcia vs. Davis II, the status of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, and whether he has issues with Don King over Jai Opetaia.
