As the day approaches for the much-awaited Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight, fans have also noticed a rising feud between UFC's Dana White and Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn. Now, boxing promoter and Misfits Boxing's co-founder Kalle Sauerland has suggested a fight between Hearn and White, including an extremely high $20 million prize pot.
Their conflict has intensified because Dana White asserted that he is the promoter and producer of the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight. However, Eddie Hearn insists the UFC president is contractually barred from playing any role in the Dec. 11, 2026, fight in Wales.
“Eddie Hearn, Dana White, winner takes all… Six rounds, two minutes. Forget the egos, or we’ll never get the fight done, and we’ll all be great-grandparents by that time. We’ll just coin-toss everything,” Sauerland recently said.
White was asked about Sauerland’s offer after filming the Contender Series on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026. As soon as White was asked the question, he shot a look of disgust and rolled his eyes at the suggestion of a fight between him and Hearn. While he did not accept or reject the offer, he made it clear that he was not interested in it. “It sounds like they got what they were looking for,” he said when the report claimed that Misfits Boxing was looking to get a reaction from him.

The fight between White and Hearn initially started when the UFC Boss wanted the fight to take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, while Hearn and Joshua were more interested in hosting the fight in the UK.
