EDDIE HEARN ACCEPTS DANA WHITE’S CHALLENGE TO A BOXING MATCH

UFC CEO Dana White recently challenged fellow boxing promoter Eddie Hearn to a boxing match. 

It appears that we have a fight on our hands because Hearn has accepted the challenge made by White. 

"I've always said yes (to fighting promoters), because I know I'd win those fights," Hearn told iFL TV (transcript via Nolan King of MMA Junkie). "But I watch Dana sparring. By the way, of course I'd do it. Because how could you say no? Then, you'd be a p*ssy, wouldn't you? By the way, Netflix would pay an absolute (fortune), or live on DAZN, the global home of boxing. So I'd probably make a fortune to do it. If I got chinned, I'll get chinned. But I'd probably spark him out, to be fair."
