Dana White dismisses Eddie Hearn ‘peace talks’ with Turki Alalshikh that would end bitter feud

Dana White has no real interest in meeting with Eddie Hearn for peace talks despite Turki Alalshikh’s insistence.

Veteran boxing promoter Hearn has been at odds with UFC boss White since he made his first step into the game earlier this 12 months with Zuffa Boxing. They’ve even flirted with the thought of settling their now bitter feud with a fight of their very own, although that seems to have fallen apart.

Who wins in a fight? Dana White or Eddie Hearn

Dana White has claimed to be open to a boxing match with Eddie Hearn: Who do you think that would win in the event that they met within the ring?

Then this week, the game’s strongest man Turki Alalshikh declared that he could be getting the pair in a room to settle their feud once and for all. Nonetheless, that now appears to be unlikely given an absence of interest from each men.

Dana White and Eddie Hearn each appear to ditch peace talks

After the Saudi boxing boss declared he could be hosting peace talks in a message on X, each Eddie Hearn and Dana White were asked after their respective events in the event that they could be attending.

The Brit just sold out Barclays Center for Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis vs Xander Zayas, while White was at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Hearn joked that he was so fired up that he might skip the talks, before White denied that they had ever been arranged in any respect.

“I don’t know what our issues could be,” White mused after his show. “I’m good… If Eddie was here I’d refer to Eddie, I don’t have any problems and I told you guys a few times now I realize it’s fun to ask all these questions but we will not be the identical.

“The competitors that I have a look at as competition straight away are the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. None of those other guys matter to me, none of them on either side on MMA or boxing.”

White was further asked if he should meet with Hearn to debate the upcoming Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight, which he appears to be hinting at promoting. Neither Hearn or Fury’s promoter Frank Warren are capable of take control of the show resulting from their exclusivity with DAZN, and White may slot in.

“That will make sense,” he noted when the thought was floated. “I even have all the information.” Asked explicitly if he can be promoting the fight, White replied: “See what Turki says within the peace summit.”
