Dana White and Eddie Hearn aren\u2019t ending their war of words as the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua build rolls on.<\/p>\n

White and Hearn have far different understandings when it comes to who is involved in the promotion of the heavyweight collision scheduled for Dec. 11. White has tripled down on his claim that he will be involved in the production of Fury vs. Joshua. Matchroom\u2019s Hearn has challenged the Zuffa Boxing boss on that claim, saying that the contract for the fight doesn\u2019t allow White to have any part of the promotion.<\/p>\n

During the UFC 332 post-fight press conference, White was asked about Hearn\u2019s claiming he was \u201ccooked\u201d following Ben Whittaker\u2019s win over Conor Wallace this past Saturday. White once again made his stance on the matter clear (h\/t MMAJunkie.com).<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be there,\u201d White said. \u201cWe\u2019re 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. \u2026 I\u2019ll be there. I\u2019m producing it. I\u2019m promoting it. I\u2019ll see you in Wales.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Hours prior to White\u2019s comments, Hearn told reporters that White cannot legally be involved in producing Fury vs. Joshua.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he actually said was, \u2018We\u2019re doing the TV production,\u2019 which again, in the contract, is prohibited,\u201d Hearn said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually started to feel bad for him, and then I woke up to all that and thought, \u2018Just drop the video.\u2019 After that video, I spoke to SELA and I said, \u2018Have you seen this video?\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018Yes, and it is completely untrue.\u2019 They told me that in writing. He cannot do that under the contract. I\u2019ve got to actually admire him because rather than just going, \u2018Listen, fair play, Hearn\u2019s had me by the short and curlies,\u2019 when actually there aren\u2019t many of those, he goes, \u2018No,\u2019 and he won\u2019t give up. So it\u2019s like, I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

During the kickoff press conference to promote Fury vs. Joshua, White\u2019s name was not mentioned in the introductions by Michael Buffer. When White\u2019s name was mentioned by Turki Alalshikh, fans in attendance for the press event in London booed.<\/p>\n

Who do you think is telling the truth, Dana White or Eddie Hearn? Let your voice be heard in the comment below.<\/strong><\/p>\n
