Dana
\nWhite<\/a> is irked with the media for repeatedly bringing up Eddie
\nHearn during his press conferences.<\/p>\n

White and Hearn\u2019s rivalry has been heating up ahead of the
\nlong-awaited bout between Tyson Fury<\/a>
\nand Anthony
\nJoshua<\/a>, scheduled for Dec. 11 at Principality Stadium in
\nCardiff, Wales. While White claims he\u2019s involved in promoting and
\nproducing the fight alongside Turki Alalshikh, Hearn repeatedly
\nsays the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> CEO isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Dana White guarantees he will produce and promote Tyson Fury
\nvs. Anthony Joshua<\/h2>\n

According to Hearn, White cannot get involved in the fight without
\nhis approval because of contractual restrictions. The Matchroom
\nBoxing chairman recently said Sela, one of the companies promoting
\nthe fight, gave him White\u2019s number to arrange a meeting. While
\nHearn claims to have texted White, he said White didn\u2019t reply.<\/p>\n

Responding to Hearn at the
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> Season 10
\nWeek 9<\/a> press conference, the Zuffa Boxing CEO said he saw no
\nreason to meet with the English promoter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s absolutely zero confusion,\u201d White said. \u201cEverything that I
\nhave said, however long ago I\u2019ve said it, is true. And now he is
\nopen to meeting with me. About what? What should we possibly meet
\nabout?\u201d<\/p>\n

White has said he\u2019s handling television production for the fight.
\nMeanwhile, Hearn claims Sela has assured him that White is
\ncontractually prohibited from handling production. Responding to
\nHearn, White suggested Hearn could have grounds for a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cSounds like he\u2019s got an incredible lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n

White again doubled down on his involvement in the fight,
\nguaranteeing that he\u2019s in charge of production. White said he\u2019ll be
\nin Cardiff for the fight with his production crew before they fly
\nback to Las Vegas the next day for UFC
\n335<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m producing the fight, I\u2019m promoting the fight,\u201d White
\nreiterated. \u201cI\u2019ll be there at the fight. And then I\u2019ll fly right
\nback to Vegas for the UFC fight. And all of my producers and guys
\nfrom production will be flying with me. We already had the meeting
\nyesterday\u2026 This is so f*cking silly now. And the fact that you guys
\nare even asking me these questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

White also expressed irritation with reporters for repeatedly
\nquestioning him about Hearn. He said the fight is between Fury and
\nJoshua, not him and Hearn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about me and him. He can\u2019t stop talking about this. A.J.
\nand Fury is the fight. Who gives a sh*t about me and Eddie Hearn
\nother than you guys\u2026 Eddie and I are not the same. We\u2019re not even
\nf*cking close.\u201d<\/p>\n
