Hearn Warns UFC Faces 'Big Threat' as White Prioritizes Zuffa Boxing
Eddie Hearn has publicly warned that the UFC is under significant threat due to Dana White’s reduced involvement, which he attributes to White’s focus on the underperforming Zuffa Boxing. While White has skipped recent UFC press conferences and made promotional errors, Hearn argues this neglect risks the promotion’s competitive standing. The dispute intensified over the December 11 Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua bout, where Hearn insists contractual bans exclude Zuffa, despite White’s claims of involvement. Although Hearn expressed willingness to negotiate, he criticized White’s arrogance and Zuffa’s poor start, noting that White is leveraging the Fury-Joshua fight to mask Zuffa’s lack of success.
