Frank Warren is tired of the theatrics between two of his rival promoters who’re threatening to box one another.
Eddie Hearn and Dana White’s once friendly relationship has dissolved to the purpose that each men are legitimately talking about settling their differences within the ring. That is despite the Brit being 46 and his American rival being 56, with a seven-inch height difference.
Nonetheless, Warren doesn’t wish to wade into those waters and believes that promoters must be specializing in putting on the most effective fights as a substitute of constructing themselves the centre of attention.

Frank Warren not focused on Eddie Hearn and Dana White’s boxing match
After a throwaway comment from Dana White during an interview with Piers Morgan earlier this month, the UFC boss has found himself seriously entertaining the potential of a boxing match with Eddie Hearn. That is though their combined age totals out at 102.
And while your complete sport is enthralled by the fantasy fight, Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren doesn’t seem concerned about it.
Speaking with Bloody Elbow after a sold-out night on the 3Arena on Saturday in Dublin headlined by Anthony Cacace’s world title win over Jazza Dickens, he insisted that he only cares about fights happening between elite athletes, versus gimmick spectacles.
“Who cares?” he replied when asked about the potential of his two rivals competing. “I’m within the business of selling tickets for fights that individuals wish to see, sellout shows. People might wish to see that, I don’t know.
“Good luck to them in the event that they wish to go and do this, we’ll keep doing what we’re doing and constructing careers of fellows who actually are young enough to fight and are skilled athletes and skilled boxers.”
White has a well-documented background in boxing and jiu-jitsu – even once being sanctioned and making weight for a fight with UFC legend Tito Ortiz. Meanwhile, Hearn claims to have boxed as a youth under a pseudonym although records of his run are hazy.
