Eddie Hearn: 'Old p*ssy' Dana White backed out of boxing match
Eddie Hearn is not happy that Dana White is backing out of their proposed boxing match despite White making the callout.
It looks like the Dana White-Eddie Hearn rivalry won't escalate to a boxing match between the two promoters. Although he made the original callout to fight, White has changed his tune on fighting Hearn. The UFC CEO hasn't outright said no to the fight, but he seems far from interested in getting in the ring with the Englishman.
Speaking with reporters at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 273 post-fight press conference in Winnipeg, Canada, White poured cold water on the potential matchup that not long ago seemed to be heating up. "Listen, Eddie says a lot of dumb sh*t. I'm getting used to it," White said.
"Eddie said that me and him are the biggest fight in boxing. Therein lies the problem with boxing. And the fact that a fight promoter who's actually put on big fights and had a stable of good fighters would say something that fucking stupid is starting to not be as shocking as it was in the beginning.
But you're a fucking bum. I'm old. And we don't even deserve to be on a card with a bunch of real fighters.
