Dana White’s rift with the UFC heavyweight champion is seemingly still ongoing.

Tom Aspinall has voiced his grievances about fighter pay and treatment since being double eye poked by Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 last October.

In March, the English MMA star signed a industrial and advisory cope with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who has been locked in a confrontation with Dana White ever because the UFC boss launched Zuffa Boxing.

Dana White reacts to Anthony Joshua’s latest profession move

On Tuesday, it was announced that boxing superstar Anthony Joshua has signed a industrial cope with leading American talent and sports agency CAA (Creative Artists Agency).

Dana White wonders why ‘AJ’ has gone elsewhere when his long-time promoter, Eddie Hearn, is offering the identical service to Tom Aspinall.

I’m not gonna speak about that stuff,” the UFC boss said on Saturday when asked if he’d spoken with Aspinall a couple of potential rematch with the brand new interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane.

“I’ll inform you something funny, though,” White added.

“So, ‘AJ’ just signed with CAA for sponsorship and all that sort of stuff.

“Doesn’t Eddie Hearn have a f—ing [talent agency]? Isn’t that what he does?

“Aspinall signs with Eddie Hearn, which is insane. AJ, who has been with him perpetually they usually are probably best friends, signs with CAA.”

Dana White shuts down Turki Alalshikh’s peace plan

Boxing’s strongest man, Turki Alalshikh, desires to end the Dana White vs. Eddie Hearn feud.

“I’ll do my best to do a gathering soon between my brothers Dana White, Nick Khan, Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn & my partners & friends DAZN to make peace, and revolution for boxing,” he said in a press release shared by Ring Magazine on Friday.

“I hope I succeed & boxing fans see the white smoke rise from the chimney.”

White was asked about his Zuffa Boxing business partner’s ambitious plan throughout the UFC Vegas 119 post-fight press conference.

“He’s made some pretty big things occur in the game of boxing,” the UFC CEO said about Alalshikh.

“That is his biggest challenge yet. That I guarantee you.”
