There\u2019s a new rivalry building in the world of combat sports, and it\u2019s between two people who once got along quite well: Dana White and boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, UFC boss Dana White took his first big steps into the boxing world when he and Turki Alalshikh hosted their first TKO boxing event.<\/p>\n
The event turned out to be one of the biggest fights of the century as Terence Crawford dethroned Canelo Alvarez to become the new undisputed super middleweight champion.<\/p>\n
White\u2019s entry didn\u2019t go down well with everyone, though. Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn dismissed White\u2019s involvement in the event, which is where things between them started to heat up.<\/p>\n
White didn\u2019t hold back as he hit out at Eddie Hearn over their broken relationship<\/p>\n
Going back a few years, White and Hearn appeared to have a solid relationship, and they had both spoken positively about each other\u2019s work as promoters.<\/p>\n
Hearn even turned up as White\u2019s guest at a UFC London show, taking in the action from the front row.<\/p>\n
But with White now making moves into boxing, that friendship has cooled off quite a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a new rivalry building in the world of combat sports, and it\u2019s between two people who once…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-224874","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
