Matchroom Boxing\u2019s Eddie Hearn didn\u2019t respond in kind to Dana White\u2019s explicit attacks at the UFC Houston post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n
The rivalry between boxing promoters Eddie Hearn and Dana White is heating up in 2026.<\/p>\n
White launched Zuffa Boxing earlier this year with cards headlined by the likes of Callum Smith and other up-and-coming stars. Since its inception, Hearn has been a frequent critic of White and Zuffa Boxing, questioning White\u2019s long-term plans to shake up boxing.<\/p>\n
After Hearn ripped Zuffa Boxing\u2019s world championship model, White responded at the UFC Houston post-fight press conference by labeling his promotional rival a \u2018p\u2014-\u2018<\/a>, in one of the most explicit exchanges in their back-and-forths. For Hearn, the longtime Matchroom Boxing executive believes White\u2019s passion for fighters has deteriorated.<\/p>\n Eddie Hearn: Dana White shows no emotion towards his fighters<\/p>\n In a recent interview with IFL TV<\/a>, Hearn responded to White.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cI hear people\u2019s comments like Dana White [saying] \u2018Eddie Hearn is a p\u2014,\u2019 Terence Crawford [saying,] \u2018Do you think Eddie Hearn actually cares about these guys?\u2019\u201d Hearn said of White.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not saying I\u2019m different but we\u2019re very different to Dana White and those guys. They don\u2019t give a f\u2014 about the fighters.<\/p>\n \u201cHave you ever seen\u2014and I know he\u2019s got to be impartial\u2014but have you ever seen Dana White show any emotion when someone wins?\u201d Hearn continued. \u201cHe gets in, gives the belt, comes back, does his presser and f\u2014 off to his massive gaff with a cigar and whiskey and goes f\u2014\u2014 \u2018life is sweet, we just made $800 million this year.\u2019\u201d (h\/t MMA Fighting<\/a>)<\/p>\n White\u2019s current passion for Mixed Martial Arts and the UFC, in particular, has been questioned by fans and some pundits in recent months. Some speculate UFC CBO Hunter Campbell could take on a larger role in the coming years as White focuses on Zuffa Boxing and his other ventures.<\/p>\n What are your thoughts on the Eddie Hearn vs. Dana White feud?
