Recently, UFC President Dana White criticized Eddie Hearn, a prominent promoter in the boxing world, saying, "He's doing nothing to develop the sport." Today, Hearn responded to these statements, according to Boxing Scene.
Eddie Hearn says he was surprised to hear White's thoughts, but he doesn't want to argue or quarrel with him.
"I was a little worried when I saw Dana's interview. I respect him, he is a person who has done great things in the field of sports. But I don't want to have a bad relationship with him. "I just think what he said was superfluous," Hearn said.
The British promoter explained his position as follows:
"I'm probably not as ambitious as Dana, but both of us are going our own way. We don't need to fight or get nervous. Let everyone do their own work. I am satisfied with my current situation."
Hearn's statement sparked widespread discussion in boxing and MMA. Many sports analysts note that relations between the heads of these two organizations may become even colder.
As a reminder, Eddie Hearn is the founder of Matchroom Boxing, a company that has organized many major fights, including stars like Anthony Joshua, Saul Alvarez, and Conor Benn.
Dana White is known as the person who brought the UFC to the world level and added a mixed genre environment to the ranks of leading brands in the sports industry.
Thus, the clash of views between the two sports world leaders continues - one calls for peace, the other advocates for strengthening the competitive environment.
