Eddie Hearn Hits Back at Dana White and Zuffa Boxing: “Ain’t Out The Garage Yet”
Eddie Hearn has reacted after Dana White trashed him and ripped into other promoters at the Zuffa Boxing 04 post-fight presser this past weekend.
The feud between Hearn and White has escalated after the latter dismissed the Matchroom Sport chairman as a rival promoter for the latest Tom Aspinall situation. He quipped:
“Is he [Eddie Hearn] a rival promoter? I haven’t seen a f***ing rival anything from Eddie Hearn or any of these other guys. He’s a manager now. Who gives a sh*t? We deal with lots of different people. I wouldn’t call Eddie Hearn a rival or anything. He’s a manager. There’s a f***ing million of them, and we deal with them all. And, you know, have you ever heard, you know, us having problems with dealing with a manager? What is Eddie Hearn going to bring to the management table that we haven’t seen in the last 25 years? No, nothing.”

Eddie Hearn Blasts Dana White as ‘All Talk,’ Says Zuffa Boxing Has Achieved Nothing
Eddie Hearn wasted no time in firing back. The 46-year-old opined on The Ariel Helwani Show that Dana White is not meant for the boxing business, and Hearn did not expect the UFC CEO to implode so early.
The Brit also added that White has been taking digs at him for months, referring to him as a “pu**y” numerous times and even calling him out to a boxing match while also claiming this past weekend that Hearn is not his competition anymore, which purely makes no sense.
“Boxing is not for him. It’s the worst business in the world. And I did not expect him to implode this early…There are four or five clips; he hasn’t stopped talking about me. He has called me a pu**y 5-6 times; he has called me out for a fight, A Fight! And then, he says I’m not competition. I will be honest with you. I agree. In boxing right now, he cannot lace my boots.”
Hearn believes that Zuffa Boxing has provided fans with “bang-average content,” so White has nothing to be proud about as he and his very own boxing promotion are not even “out of the garage yet,” as sell-out stadium shows can’t be compared to events at the Meta APEX. The Matchroom boss quipped:
“He’s sitting there and spinning the narrative like he’s creating these unbelievable blockbuster shows in stadiums. He ain’t out the garage yet. Literally, four shows in, and absolute bang-average content… They have done nothing at all. And Dana coming out, losing his rag, blood pressure going through the roof, calling me this and calling me that, but not actually doing anything… Show me what you are doing is special.”
