Dana White not backing down despite Hearn confirming he won't produce Joshua-Fury - MMA Junkie

Dana White and Eddie Hearn continue to argue about who's promoting Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury.

The massive boxing match between Joshua and Fury will finally take place on Dec. 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and streams on Netflix.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn, who released a video mocking White, claimed the UFC CEO contractually isn't allowed to promote the fight.

"To be honest with you, at this point I think he's completely cooked," Hearn said of White during Saturday's press conference in Birmingham. "What he actually said was, 'We're doing the TV production,' which again, in the contract, is prohibited. I wasn't going to drop that video, by the way, because I thought I'll leave it now. I actually started to feel bad for him, and then I woke up to all that and thought, 'Just drop the video.' After that video, I spoke to SELA and I said, 'Have you seen this video?'

"They said, 'Yes, and it is completely untrue.' They told me that in writing. He cannot do that under the contract. I've got to actually admire him because rather than just going, 'Listen, fair play, Hearn's had me by the short and curlies,' when actually there aren't many of those, he goes, 'No,' and he won't give up. So it's like, I've got to respect it and admire it because the front on him is unbelievable. They want me to meet them in L.A. next week, which I probably will."

White was asked about Hearn's persistence, and the Zuffa Boxing CEO continued to double- and triple-down on his involvement in the fight.

"I will be there," White said during Saturday's UFC 332 post-fight press conference, "We're producing the show, just like Canelo-Crawford. Same thing. Craig Borsari, Zach, my whole team. We will be producing the show. I will have my little phone on the table just like tonight and every other show that I produce. ... I'll be there. I'm producing it. I'm promoting it. I'll see you in Wales."
