\u201cZuffa like the new chick on the block. Everybody wants that phone number, bro. Everybody wants to be phoning her phone number. Everybody wants to hang out with that chick on the block. May she stay beautiful forever,\u201d Chisora told Secondsout.<\/p>\n The heavyweight veteran also admitted he has welcomed the arrival of a new player in the sport, expressing fatigue with boxing\u2019s long-established promotional landscape.<\/p>\n \u201cListen, I like Zuffa because I was just tired of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren,\u201d said Chisora.<\/p>\n Chisora then highlighted the financial muscle he believes Zuffa possesses as it attempts to establish itself in boxing.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Ben Shalom was doing it on Sky, there was so much insults on Ben Shalom. This and this and this. He lost a deal. Yeah. And then suddenly Zuffa comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got bigger [resources] than Eddie and Frank put together. Do you understand? Yeah. He can do what the hell they want.\u201d<\/p>\n Chisora\u2019s comments come at a time when Dana White\u2019s involvement in boxing continues to generate discussion throughout the industry. Tyson Fury recently appeared alongside White in Washington, while several prominent fighters have been linked with Zuffa\u2019s long-term plans for the sport.<\/p>\n Chisora\u2019s comments came shortly after Dana White\u2019s White House appearance alongside Tyson Fury and other combat sports figures, an event that showcased the reach and star power surrounding Zuffa\u2019s growing boxing project.<\/p>\n To Chisora, the message is clear: fighters are noticing. As Zuffa expands its footprint in the sport, he believes more boxers will be eager to answer that call.<\/p>\n Olly Campbell is a boxing journalist who has covered the sport since 2014, providing ringside reporting and technical analysis of major bouts.
