He's listed at 46 but using the cuban formula his real age is 56
That's that old man strength with power. Never underestimate a person because of their age.

After the recent announcement of Dana White reviving Zuffa Boxing with the help of Turki Alalshikh and Paramount/CBS, Dana White speaks to Max Kellerman on behalf of Ring Magazine to go more in depth about how his outfit will operate in the world of boxing. Here are some excerpts from White below with the full video interview at the top.
White on his big picture plans to build Zuffa
“A lot of the things I did growing the UFC, the sport and the brand, all the things I liked about boxing and all the things I didn’t like about boxing — I want to get in there and starting putting together fights with not only up-and-coming guys and people we think can be future stars, but it’s sort of morphing into putting on some fights with the biggest stars in the world.On Zuffa only recognizing Ring Magazine champions, ignoring all major sanctioning bodies
“There will be a Zuffa belt and then there will be a Ring belt, and yes, I will not recognize any of the other sanctioning bodies.“I’ve seen a lot of talk about people saying ‘oh, he’s talking about doing this and that, that’ll never work,’ well, we’ll find out in the next couple of years. I’m one of those guys that’s going to put my head down for the next couple of years and grind. I’m not worried about what everybody else is doing.
I mean UFC became huge once boxing started getting boring because of less competition for big fights. People love to see others get beat up and UFC had something unique at the time that draw people to want to check them out. The rest is history after that. I just didn't like how dana white treated his fighters not paying them well once he became billionaire.
Now it'll be interesting to see what he does differently with boxing to bring some excitement to the sport being creative.
There needs to be another up and coming fighter that could be star for the next generation since the stars of boxing today are starting to fade out from being older heading into retirement.
Nah, Jermell got CTE, his best bet would be to fight broner..
