Dana White calls Eddie Hearn a ‘bum,’ challenges him to fight in London

Dana White has challenged Eddie Hearn to settle their ongoing spat at the boxing gym, calling on the Matchroom Boxing chairman to pick a venue in London for a potential showdown.

The
Ultimate Fighting Championship The CEO made the offer after denying reports that Misfits Boxing had offered to pay both men $10 million to compete on one of its cards.

Dana White urges Eddie Hearn to choose London gym after contesting Misfits Boxing’s reported $10 million offer

White and Hearn have publicly traded blows several times when they disagreed over White’s involvement in the upcoming Tyson Fury
vs. Anthony Joshua blockbuster, scheduled for December 11 in Cardiff, Wales. While the pair have come to grips with the possibility of a boxing match through public exchanges, White now seems interested in settling the matter privately.

Speaking to All Out Fighting after Zuffa Boxing in London, White questioned the appeal of the potential matchup, particularly given Hearn’s lack of boxing experience.

“Eddie Hearn is a bastard. He’s never boxed,” White said.

White also denied the suggestion that he had personally received an official offer from Misfits Boxing, although the promotion claimed that the offer had been sent to both parties.

White, however, was not completely opposed to physical confrontation. Instead of turning their ongoing feud into a pay-per-view boxing attraction, he invited Hearn to a gym of his choice.

“If Eddie Hearn wants to fight, he can choose a gym here in London,” White said. “We’re going down to the damn gym, me and him, and we can do the damn thing.”
