Paddy Pimblett Labels Proposed Dana White vs. Eddie Hearn Bout Ridiculous

Published

The story

UFC athlete Paddy Pimblett recently shared his disapproval of the ongoing public friction between UFC CEO Dana White and promoter Eddie Hearn. Addressing reports of a hypothetical ring encounter between the two, Pimblett dismissed the idea as childish and implausible. He noted that the frequent verbal sparring has become a distraction from the upcoming Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua event scheduled for December 11.

Pimblett also offered his perspective on the Fury-Joshua matchup, suggesting that Anthony Joshua holds the advantage. He pointed to Fury’s recent periods of inactivity as a potential factor in the outcome, noting that returning to top form after significant time away from the sport is a difficult challenge for any fighter.
