Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White declined President Donald Trump's offer to be the next White House press secretary during a briefing on Monday. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
The president had asked White to take over the role in a social post over the weekend. Trump later said he was "having a little fun".
During the briefing, White confirmed he won't take the job as he doesn't "want to be in politics."
White's statement makes clear he will not serve as White House press secretary.
