Dana White and Eddie Hearn’s war of words continues to get more and more intense – even though there won’t be a fight at the end of it.
UFC CEO White was the one to initially float the idea of a boxing match between the rival promoters during a joking interview as the pair’s feud grew more serious. Hearn, who is a decade his junior and over half a foot taller, has since been pushing the issue intensely.
Tonight, both men put on events in Liverpool and Winnipeg respectively, and spoke to the gathered media. Hearn launched a nuclear verbal attack on White, while the UFC boss generally repeated his generic lines about the pair not deserving to headline a big event.

Eddie Hearn asks Dana White ‘where are your balls’ in epic rant
Eddie Hearn appears to be truly excited about the prospect of getting in the ring with Dana White, despite having next to no boxing experience. And after his show at the M&S Bank Arena tonight, he tore into the UFC boss once again, insisting that he was the reason it isn’t moving forward.
“The only thing that can stop the fight happening is Dana White,” Hearn noted, before branding the American a p—-. “So really, the truth of the matter is, he’s backing out of the fight that he called on. So who’s the p—- now? Where’s your balls gone, you p—-? Something like that, I don’t know.

“I mean, you can’t keep calling me a p—- when you call me out for a fight, and I accept the fight, and then you go, ‘Oh, no, no, we’re bums, it would go on earlier in the night’. What the f— is that? We would main event and sell out a massive stadium.
“And if it’s on DAZN – do you not agree with me? Do you not think we’d sell out The O2? Do you not think we’d do over a million buys globally? Don’t forget, he is a big name, right? I mean, some may say bigger than me. Well, I don’t know. But certainly in America.
“So we’ve got the American audience, we’ve got the UK audience. Can you imagine how the f— I would sell this show? Oh, my God. Anyway, it’s all probably fantasy, but I do think about it on every run.
“In bed every night I’ve picked my ring walk, I’ve actually designed my robe. But, like I said, it’ll probably just be fantasy because unfortunately, Dana White backed out of the fight.”
