Dana White hasn't been messing around since entering the world of boxing in January. The UFC president has been focusing on the development of Zuffa Boxing and has Eddie Hearn as his biggest opponent. The two executives constantly exchange public provocations, and in February, the already troubled relationship completely deteriorated. Now, the American has shown interest in resolving the problem in a shocking way.
In an interview with Piers Morgan's YouTube channel, Dana White agreed to settle the score with Hearn in a boxing match. It's true that the 56-year-old UFC president is unlikely to resort to physical violence when face-to-face with the 46-year-old English promoter, especially since he has never assaulted his rivals. Interestingly, the businessmen were friends in the past.

In any case, as he has always been passionate about the noble art and even practiced it for years, the executive bets that he would succeed in the hypothetical fight against the president of Matchroom Boxing. Sharp-witted, Dana didn't even spare YouTuber Jake Paul , highlighting that he only established himself in the sport because, basically, he faced aging competition.
“If Eddie wants to box, we can box. We can box if Eddie wants to box, but I don’t think he wants to. I used to train boxing with all the guys, boxers and UFC fighters. I’ve practiced boxing. I can definitely fight,” said the executive.
“But first of all, we’re too old. It would have to be a Jake Paul /Netflix type of event, or the two of us could fight Jake Paul . We’re in the age range of the guys he likes to fight,” he concluded.

One of the leading boxing promoters, Eddie Hearn, even declared that Dana White's presence would be bad for boxing. Then, the head of Zuffa Boxing made a significant move against his rival. In February, the Englishman saw Conor Benn, one of his main stars, sign a lucrative contract with the rival company.
Unhappy with the deal, Hearn admitted he was disappointed with the fighter's attitude, blasted the UFC and Zuffa Boxing leader, and declared war on him. Aware of his rival's dissatisfaction, Dana called him a coward, a wimp, and promised to continue strengthening his company with the top prospects and stars of boxing.
Days later, Hearn also gave a great response to his old friend. Last Thursday (5), the executive officially announced Tom Aspinall , UFC heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg), as the newest impactful addition to his talent agency and will take care of his professional career.
