Dana White and Eddie Hearn Exchange Verbal Jabs Over Boxing Promotion

Following the UFC 332 press conference in Salt Lake City on Thursday, UFC CEO Dana White renewed his public feud with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. During his interactions with the media, White dismissed Hearn’s standing in the combat sports landscape, labeling the Matchroom Boxing promoter as 'delusional.' The comments centered on the ongoing tensions regarding the promotion of the long-discussed mega-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Hearn did not remain silent following White’s remarks. In response to the UFC executive’s public statements, Hearn took to social media to highlight previous interactions, utilizing video receipts to challenge White’s perspective on how the heavyweight boxing match should be handled and promoted.

This latest exchange adds another chapter to the long-standing verbal rivalry between the two promoters, who have frequently clashed over the promotional rights and strategic direction of major cross-promotional or high-profile boxing events. Despite White’s focus on the upcoming UFC 332 card, his comments indicate that the friction between his organization and Hearn regarding the Fury-Joshua saga remains a point of contention.
