Animated Dana White responds to Eddie Hearn again: 'Sounds like he's got an incredible lawsuit'

Dana White escalated his public feud with Eddie Hearn ahead of the highly anticipated Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua rematch, dismissing Hearn’s authority in the negotiations and suggesting his legal team may have grounds for a strong case.

White, the president of UFC and co-founder of Zuffa Boxing, labeled Hearn a "weak guy" during a recent interview, while also hinting at potential legal action, stating Hearn "sounds like he’s got an incredible lawsuit." The tension stems from Hearn’s refusal to allow White’s TKO Promotion to take a central role in organizing the superfight, despite White’s influence in the boxing world and his past successes in promoting major events through UFC. Hearn has repeatedly insisted that negotiations cannot proceed while the media war between the two continues, though he has not ruled out future collaboration—only on terms he deems acceptable.

The dispute has drawn reactions from other boxing figures, including Oscar De La Hoya, who weighed in on the promotional battle, and former UFC fighter Tyron Woodley, who jokingly suggested White and Hearn engage in a "little sparring match" to settle their differences.
