Zuffa LLC and Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing

Dana White and Eddie Hearn aren’t ending their war of words as the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua build rolls on.

White and Hearn have far different understandings when it comes to who is involved in the promotion of the heavyweight collision scheduled for Dec. 11. White has tripled down on his claim that he will be involved in the production of Fury vs. Joshua. Matchroom’s Hearn has challenged the Zuffa Boxing boss on that claim, saying that the contract for the fight doesn’t allow White to have any part of the promotion.

During the UFC 332 post-fight press conference, White was asked about Hearn’s claiming he was “cooked” following Ben Whittaker’s win over Conor Wallace this past Saturday. White once again made his stance on the matter clear (h/t MMAJunkie.com).

“I will be there,” White said. “We’re producing the show, just like Canelo-Crawford. Same thing. Craig Borsari, Zach, my whole team. We will be producing the show. I will have my little phone on the table just like tonight and every other show that I produce. … I’ll be there. I’m producing it. I’m promoting it. I’ll see you in Wales.”

Hours prior to White’s comments, Hearn told reporters that White cannot legally be involved in producing Fury vs. Joshua.

“What he actually said was, ‘We’re doing the TV production,’ which again, in the contract, is prohibited,” Hearn said.

“I actually started to feel bad for him, and then I woke up to all that and thought, ‘Just drop the video.’ After that video, I spoke to SELA and I said, ‘Have you seen this video?’

“They said, ‘Yes, and it is completely untrue.’ They told me that in writing. He cannot do that under the contract. I’ve got to actually admire him because rather than just going, ‘Listen, fair play, Hearn’s had me by the short and curlies,’ when actually there aren’t many of those, he goes, ‘No,’ and he won’t give up. So it’s like, I’ve got to respect it and admire it because the front on him is unbelievable. They want me to meet them in L.A. next week, which I probably will.”

During the kickoff press conference to promote Fury vs. Joshua, White’s name was not mentioned in the introductions by Michael Buffer. When White’s name was mentioned by Turki Alalshikh, fans in attendance for the press event in London booed.
