The story

UFC CEO Dana White recently addressed the growing tension between himself and boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. The friction stems from White's planned involvement in the Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight, which Hearn has questioned in relation to potential contractual issues.

During a recent media scrum, White dismissed Hearn's concerns regarding his role in the event. White confirmed he is proceeding with his production and promotion plans for the bout, noting that he intends to attend the fight before returning to Las Vegas for upcoming UFC commitments.

White questioned why Hearn continues to focus on him during public appearances rather than the fighters involved. He maintained that his statements regarding his participation in the event have been accurate and challenged others to dispute his account of the situation.
