“I haven’t heard that,” White said.
Asked if he would attend such a meeting should Alalshikh request it, White made clear he has no objection.
“If Eddie was here, I’d talk to Eddie. I don’t have any problems.”
White also rejected the idea that his rivalry with established boxing promoters has become personal, saying business competition should not be mistaken for animosity.
“I don’t hate Eddie Hearn. I like Frank Warren. I don’t have any problem with any of these guys, but we’re going to compete.”
One reporter suggested that even if a summit took place, the promoters would likely shake hands before returning to competing against one another. Dana agreed with that view.
“It’s probably true.”
White added that he still enjoys the competitive side of the business despite the recent friction surrounding Zuffa Boxing’s arrival.
“I’m still excited. It feels like I’m the only one having fun right now,” said White.
Hearn recently questioned how much a peace summit could realistically accomplish, arguing that the industry would quickly return to competing for fighters, television dates, and major events once the meeting ended.
White’s comments suggest he sees no contradiction between maintaining cordial relationships with rival promoters while continuing to challenge them in the marketplace. Since entering boxing alongside Turki Alalshikh earlier this year, White has repeatedly emphasized that Zuffa Boxing intends to compete aggressively, even if personal relationships remain intact.
