Dana White could be one of the reasons why Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are a superfight on the ropesbut that’s not stopping the UFC CEO from being involved in promoting the upcoming Netflix event.
As you may know, White and Joshua’s manager Eddie Hearn have been embroiled in a public feud dating back to earlier this year. It all started with white snapped boxer Conor Benn From Hearn’s stable of fighters to help usher in a new era of Zuffa Boxing, Hearn sought revenge by signing UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to his management team, but this did little to disrupt White and the UFC’s business.
The feud has been ongoing ever since, so it wasn’t much of a surprise to hear from Hearn doesn’t want White to be in Fury Vs. In Joshua’s promotion. Unfortunately for Hearn, he’s not running the show. That right belongs to Turki Aalshikh, who is behind the upcoming Netflix show and will eventually get what he wants one way or another. It also includes White’s help promoting the match headlining the card.
White, who has nothing good to say about Hearn, recently responded to his comments that the UFC CEO has no chance of promoting Fury vs. Joshua. Of course, Hearns’ remarks didn’t sit well with White, so he had to set the record straight.
Check out some of White’s responses below:
“I think the press release speaks for itself.”
“Do you think Netflix gives a damn what Eddie Hearn thinks?”
“Who’s stopping me?”
