- Dana White opens up about his involvement in boxing and the prospect of working with Tyson Fury and Floyd Mayweather. He also discusses Anthony Joshua's most recent fight over Andy Ruiz.

What difference does it make if Ruiz was the same weight for the 2nd fight? If Joshua boxes that style against him Ruiz will always lose because he can't cut the ring off and has no footwork. If a bigger fighter keeps the fight at distance, a smaller fighter can't do a thing. Joshua neutralised Ruiz's biggest asset which was fighting inside. Superb gameplan and it was executed perfectly.
It was a superb gameplan granted. But it wasn't "executed perfectly" by any means. Joshua was still getting caught and barely landed any power punches the whole fight. He just jabbed and ran.
Ruiz will be able to cut the ring off better. His strength, power, and conditioning would be better. He was trying to conserve energy.
SuperMillwall1885 with less weight i will be able do Close the gap quicker also Joshua run if u are the bigger man and just Mobbing backwards well thats Running
He beat an morbidly obese not athletic boxer nothing superb about that.
Red HawK15 lies
Joshua "got clipped with some big shots and hurt"...... He was watching a replay of the first fight 😂
@@bakz89 was ali scared because he fort like that all the time
Ruiz got joshua with some good shot and he looked stunned two or three times but that was 15% of the fight and 85% joshua was in control
Jonathan Yeomans Ali boxed Joshua run when he touched the ropes Never Comapre Joshua to ali
@@bakz89 he took big punches but they were not massive ones which rocked him badly. But i don't think he was scared. Him clinching not hugging is a logical tactic. Instead of guarding and trying to walk backwards and out, ur stopping the whole momentum of the fight and stopping the opponent from throwing punches. Then u can reset and throw inside punches. However, he tried it too many times and he did get clipped too
bakz89 ?
I just want Eddie Hearn and Dana meet up
They already have
@@Dukestboy96 yh but like recorded.
2 of the most corrupt men in sport.
Frank Carveri they’re all corrupt and same as every sport nothing is going to change in any sport just enjoy the sport 🤦♂️😂😂
They have, Dana showed Eddie round .
Dana has no idea how good a matchroom event is lol
Connor not ufc level
@@mibsammalik1614 Majority of UFC is full of low level strikers tho
Pretty Boy Flizzy yeah the strikers are bad but some of the cards are stacked i like boxing but the fights take forever to make some fighters are pretty good too in ufc
For every one good boxing event there’s four good ufc ones
I’d agree things could definitely move a little quicker though. Especially in America and the anthem BS. Ditch all of that.
He would sign AJ in an instant.
Obviously BT Sports hates A. Joshua very much. There have never had anything good to say about him.
It's because he does a lot of exclusives for skysports. They're just jealous and bitter
Same for fury and sky sports... if it's not there man then they don't care... to many platforms imo.. should just be 1 and they all should be made fight or get lost. This is why boxing is dying boxers can hide behind a promoter/platform
broughy23 cause these UFC fighters are putting it on the line for fifty gs and Anthony Joshua plays stick and jab for a guy who's obese and some how got seventy million lol it's a joke
Because Joshua's a fraud with a fake persona. They like genuine people at bt
@@connorbleakley5241 That's boxing mate. Just try read up on it.
How can Dana say after AJs last performance makes Wilder a better fighter... crazy
p browny Doesn't make any sense whatsoever lol. Joshua shows he can box and suddenly he's scared and not the same fighter anymore haha. He literally can't win.. If he knocks them out apparently he can't box or has no stamina, if he boxes them it's boring and it's because he's scared lol. So pathetic.
A fat and slow Ruiz still caught Joshua a couple of times and if a obese Ruiz can do it Deontae wilder definitely can as well. It would be an easy night for wilder
I still fear for Joshua! Kind regards Richard U.K
Albert Fischer that's because Ruiz has fast hands, obese or not
Stephen Charlton ruiz is fast but the Reach diffrence was Big and Joshua got still caught so i dont think Joshua will ever have a solid defense he will just grab
After seeing AJ win 12 rounds against the unified heavyweight champion, Dana White came to the conclusion that Wilder and Fury are number 1 & 2 in the division. Wow.
Tony Lincoln they are
Tony Lincoln aj and ruiz are situated behind fury and wilder yes.
usyk coming for their heads.
Hamza Hussain he will defeat all big 3 names and all big 4 if he gets ruiz
Yeah stay out of boxing!
usyk war!!!!
Logan Paul and KSI out-earned everybody on the UFC245 card
@Luffer Booms My point? Dana White is under paying his biggest stars.
John Homes ksi and Logan got like 10 million each
They were guaranteed 900,000 by the commission in their contract but their sponsors, ppv buys/dazn buys and ticket sales were millions.
Eddie Hearn said the ppv and dazn buys were 2 million world wide and they sold out staple center in the last week.
John Homes that is unconfirmed
@Luffer Booms point is no money in ufc
@John Homes biggest combat athlete today? That's canelo followed by Joshua.
Wilder is out there somewhere looking for someone ranked 2736 to so he can pretend to box
King killmonger that’s fury mate
Luis Ortiz is rank 2000 in the world? Interesting
Wilder is TBE even without his power punch
@@ardiankrasniqi1046 🤣🤣 go home please
LISA Burroughs well he’s already beat wilder lad ;)
How can people still say wilder is better than fury when fury has beat him already😂
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN knocked him down twice and still lost the round. But if u count it then wilder still lost 10 rounds u mupet 😂😂
LeedsCity he was robbed the judge that said wilder one should lose his job
@@tomwilliams1184 ino what a piss take
First 4 rds were toss ups. Fury was too inactive while wilder pressured all the way untill the knockdowns fury won.
According to his boxrec it was a draw, if it was that much of a robbery then why didn't Fury appeal to the BBBC, anyway the fans are being spoiled with a rematch so we are the real winners
love him or hate him, but we all know chael sonnen is the goat
Anderson Silva smashed uncle Chael not once but twice
Speak for yourself, sonnen is a Turd
After watching a fascinating interview I just want to know how much Dana bet on Joshua
Let see how this interview plays out
It is what it is
The camera shots at UFC events hands down makes boxing coverage seem amateur
It's easier to film with a huge octagon
the second dana said hes good friends with AL haymon, is the second Ithe world realised dana is bad for boxing
Lol, So let me guess Eddie Hearn is good for Boxing?
@@theblackschwab3561 he's better for boxing than Al haymon!...
@@theblackschwab3561 he certainly is in the UK , boxing was dead before he came into it.
@@jamieh3772 I agree. Eddie is the Dana White of boxing
Years back Dana used to root for boxing's demise, trying to convince casuals and young people new to the sport that they should instead jump on the UFC bandwagon. When he realized his anti-boxing attitude put boxing fans off and created a divide, he quickly back tracked and tried to latch on to boxing's history by doing promos comparing UFC fighters to boxing legends. And after getting a taste of boxing ppv money from Floyd-Connor, he's straight up trying to get into the sport and probably has dreams of creating his Dana White Boxing championship belt which is going to be terrible for boxing and will only deepen the promotional divide..
Love the interview !!! Talks about combat sports in general and that’s what he’s about !!!!!!!!!!
Eddie Hearn‘ in your head Dana
Boxing must stay boxing, the only thing Dana could help with is the turnaround times between fights on a card.
He's right about DAZN... it's horrendous, set boxing production back 30 years
Brad Keegan I think he’s scared DAZN is gonna take over everything
Edit: think of how Netflix has taken over the film world, same thing just with sports
Mayweather vs Fury in 2020, calling it now
Dana is just salty that joshua rejected 350 million pounds from him to be his promoter looool dana the clown
500 Million and sounds Abit bitter towards aj
Dana is a waste of air
I don't remember Joshua getting clipped. Dont believe Ruiz partied like all I heard in the build up 1 thing then after another
Ruiz partied and ate too much.. he came in at 20 stone ffs
Round 8
Joshua definitely got clipped. He lost the battle everytime he decided to trade with Ruiz hence why he stuck with the jab
@@Jay-wm2im idk man. About clipped. Idk if ruiz really hurt him
Jay L please Fat boy ate right hands every single round.....Josh was tentative because he had so much more on the line to loose. he took zero changes because in a trade off analysis it would not be worth it if something were to go wrong
good to see Dana off the crack for this interview..calm, thoughtful and on point with the answers
Matchroom put on a really good show when in the UK, don’t really see Dana White topping that
He tops it with every UFC event.😂😂😂
Don't read too much into anything he said. AJ & Dazn represent a change to the market that he desperately does not want.
Wrong.Matchroom is just not good .Not here in the states it may be in England but not here.
Dana needs to get all the top boxers under one banner and have them fight each other like he has done with the UFC fighters. Top man
I agree with Dana on this one. I subscribe to DAZN but the production has a lot of room for improvement
After hearing this convo. White shouldn’t get involved with boxing. Misinformed
He's an idiot he thinks he knows everything
Yh he a good marketer complete dingus
Boxing fans need to realise that UFC events are something else
Yeah mate they are UFC events, not boxing events.
Dana "I'll see how it plays out " white
It was “fate” that two extremely rich people would be sitting next to each other at a sports event? C’mon man. Lol
That wasnt the point... Its that they both are in the fighting game which was the amazing thing. Use your brain lad haha
Good luck trying to get the fights on
I actually think Joshua's only chance against Wilder is to make it a brawl and try and stop him early. I just don't think Joshua can avoid that right hand for 12 rounds. He can definitely outbox Wilder, but he don't move his head enough to avoid that missile for 36 minutes. Just my take on it.
no need for that, AJ has huge power and is a great inside fighter, he would win under 5 rounds i don't see how wilder would win against a big inside fighter with that power if he never had to fight one.
@@coffee7180 He is a great inside fighter and does have power, agreed. My only issue is he doesn't move his head enough closing the distance. He's gonna have to utilize his jab to try and work his way in on Wilder but Wilder is very athletic and has an awkward but deceptively quick jab that comes from weird angles.
@@coffee7180 Joshua definitely has the power to stop Wilder though and that may happen. And we know Wilder's got the power. I just want them to freaking fight. We'll see if Wilder can get through Fury this time around and then hopefully, Joshua vs Wilder will happen.
Boxers make way more then UFC fighter just curious on what Dana can over these guys that they’re not already getting
Ufc puts fight fan wana see all around the world
Dana: lets see how it plays out😂😂😂
Dana white should make a movie about his journey to success and making the UFC A HUGE THING
Dazn production is excellent, especially realizing paying $80 per year and getting all those great fights. Horrendous is when Dana charge fight funs $80 per ppv and pay fighters a nuts.
Dana would smash a boxing event.. I hope he invests in it because he would be by far the best at it.
@Red HawK15 if he gets the big fights put on then I'm not against what he does
Dana’s salty that ksi and Logan made 10 mill each lmaooooo
Dam dana taking shots at DAZN
Not a good idea to take shots at the richest organisation in combat sports. They threw $1bn around in the first year ffs, which is 1 quarter of what the UFC is worth in total.
eLIPHAS3333 lol they bowed down to ufc😂💀
@@nbballstarballislife How did they "bow down" to UFC? Because they showed a UFC fight before Canelo's ring walk against Kovalev? That's not "bowing down" at all.
eLIPHAS3333 because they clearly were waiting for the whole ufc event and Dazns motto has been that ppv is dead and they waited for a ppv event.
Has our little fight deciple had a thatch?
What fight was he watching 😂
Its jus really interesting how Dana trys to weave himself in to the Mayweather story, as tho he isnt bein manipulated to compromise his whole sport and company in to a semi-professional exhibition, that is struggling to find a broadcast deal
Dana talking about the CZcams fight as if they only made a million dollars LUL
Have a petition for floyd v khabib
or floyd v tony
This man needs to get into boxing
Everyone like watching the national anthems. Agree with him on the wait times though
DAZN is killin it
super cool to see dana talk about boxing instead of ufc
Once Eddie Hearn loses more of his hair and decides to shave it up, he will look like Dana White's twin
So sick of people saying that fury comfortably won against Wilder. Fury landed 84 punches and Wilder landed 71 with 2 knock downs. So fury basically landed one more punch per round and didn't knock Wilder down. Sounds like a legitimate draw to me.
Dana White should start promoting boxing events.He's exactly right in what he says about ufc events compared to boxing.The ufc events are fast paced and into it from the get go.And the best have to fight the best,they don't have a choice.
Why should he. He would bring nothing different to the table he would just be another promoter.
Dana , Al, & Floyd are incredibly rich
Dana =fight sport legends
He's right though. Joshua is too overrated. If fury didnt go into depression then Joshua wouldnt be as hyped as he is.
Karen Nyirenda educate yourself about boxing u clown
Floyd should do a cross over fight with MMA gloves but with boxing rules.
he really j say Joshua and Wilder he forgetting ab Furu
I'd love to see George Forman vs Tyson - Wilder winner
Joshua handled Ruiz exactly how Mayweather fights every fight... Dana White is a lad.
Good ol dana. Running down the opposition da zone. Hearn Sr. and jr. Said they were impressed with the ufc shows they put on, pretty much saying that there copying and using it (in a way) as a template but with more sports
Dana make Boxing Great Again 2020
Boxing is great as is.
It certainly would be interesting, but Fury would need too long to prepare for MMA.
AJ: 2 x unifide champ. 4 belts. Multiple title defences. Only fights top level opponents.
Deontay: holding 1 belt hostage, fights 'bums'.
Fury: 0 belts. no title defences. fights 'bums'
😂
Dude Joshua is glorified because “Eddie Hearn” his promoter” the biggest name in European boxing is making him sound like a god when in reality that’s his job and not to mention Joshua ducked wilder even when offered over 100 million claiming “he’s moving smart” when in reality doesn’t want his head becoming the next European satellite
Spot on
bakz89 anything can happen in boxing
Joshua could of easily been knocking out lower ranked fighters TIL his 40th fight but he hasn’t, he became world champion in his 16th fight
Boxing could really use Dana's production skills
“Ooohhh!!”
I’m a huge AJ fan but he’s number 3 at best.
Charlie Bevinio behind wilder?
3:35 "I think they both made a million bucks." LMAO. Yeah. A liiiiiiiittle bit more than that mate. That was a troll move. He knows what they made.
Imagine eddie hearn vs dana white
He’s right and completely honest Joshua is not same fighter since first defeat he looked scaredy
Papa Hunter He looked cautious, there’s a difference
Dana make the Joshua wilder fight happen!!!
Question is why, WHY COLBY PUNCHES SO SOFTLY
He's spot on about the production in boxing. It's awful, and moves way too slow. If it were more fast paced it would be better
Kai Jumunji disagree
Deontay Wilder vs Francis Ngannou mma and boxing please
6 foot 7 vs 6 foot 4 .... Would be interesting
XXXPunaniBoy Wouldn’t be interesting. Wilder would kill him (if its in the boxing ring)
Yesssssss
2 years later Floyd actually ends up fighting Logan Paul 🤣🤣
Dana Heavy name dropper
Wilder's next fights must be Fury, Whyte, Joshua
He will lose to Fury, so Whyte and Joshua will not happen. But let's be real... Wilder without that power has at least 4 or 5 losses on his record. This is the reason why Wilder get big PPV numbers, he simply can not box as he gets outpointed for the majority of the fight and then his opponents fall over. It's also worth mentioning that Joshua has the best fight resume of the current active heavyweight boxers, having unified twice and fought continuous top 15 ranked opponents since winning a world title.
Both Fury and Wilder have very padded records.
I'm not a hater or a fanboy of any of the names mentioned. I don't like Wilder as a boxer(for the reasons listed above) but that's it. I'm not emotionally invested in any fighters really.
It'll never happen wilder will 🦆 🦆 🦆.
@Rhys Dutkiewicz an aj fanboy lol
@Rhys Dutkiewicz wilder has more chance landing on AJ than fury, less mobile and head movement from AJ easier target but still I don't believe fury is shot at all but I hope his focus is right for their second fight or else your prediction will probably come true.
Rhys Dutkiewicz as an aj fan I whole heartedly disagree. Wilder destroys Joshua in less than 9rds brutal ko. Aj has no chin and isn’t technically much better than wilder. Wilder will land the one punch even more so considering he’s more athletic than aj has a longer reach and aj has no defence 😂
I swear Joshua must get so pissed off with the disrespect shown towards him. Without question Joshua has fought and BEATEN far better fighters than both Fury and Wilder COMBINED, that's not even up for debate, their resumes prove this. But somehow Americans don't ever seem to give Joshua the credit he fully deserves.
Joshua out of the 3 of them is the most well rounded fighter in terms of boxing skill and power, where as Fury has the boxing skills and no power, Wilder has the power but no boxing skills.
SuperMillwall1885 It’s just in turns of match up. It seems like Joshua would get wrecked by either of them. Even if Joshua is overall the better fighter. He’s not as skilled as Fury, meaning there’s no way he can dodge Wilder for 12 rounds, and Wilder only needs to hit him once. Ortiz was boxing better than Joshua (and even Fury to be honest) and look what happened. Joshua also doesn’t seem to have enough power to put down Fury, meaning that Fury would probably outbox him. It’s weird, I think Joshua is the best overall but would lose because of the match up.
Jason Eagles Fury's best victory is Klitschko and then who? lol. There's nobody on his entire resume, not one name 😅 Joshua has beaten Klitschko, Ruiz, Povetkin, Parker, Whyte, Breazeale, Takam.. Come on be serious, Fury hasn't got a resume anywhere near that.
SuperMillwall1885 your right BUT then why is Joshua ducking him even when being offered over 100 million let me guess “he wants to move smart” those were actually his own words in the situation dude Joshua himself knows he hasn’t faced that supernatural power that wilder has😂
Joshua dodged Doentay really!! Joshua made concrete contract offers Doentay which he never signed. DENOTAY NEVER MADE ANY CONCRETE contract OFFER TO AJ. Denotay has never fought a boxer that can take and give punches that explains why Americans don't watch his fights. America is perhaps the largest market for boxing, AJ in his first fight in America sold out MSG though he lost and subsequent fight also sold out. Boxing fans wants to watch boxers fight actual contenders and while Deontay fights carefully selected boxer who are beyond their prime for boxing matches. So who is afraid, is he the one afraid to get into the ring with boxers that can give him a real fight or the one that takes on the very top contenders in the game that can give him a real fight in the ring?
How can any serious boxing fan rate Fury higher than Joshua, when fury has never defended a world title. He just returned to active boxing after 3 years of inactivity. Since his returned to boxing he has not fought a credible boxer who can box within the top 10. He fought Deontay who is WBC franchise champion and he is not credible champion because he is afraid to fight a top 10 title contender.
why not have two champion boxers in a UFC FIGHT?
Better live events??? C'mon man, some fights stink, doesn't matter if its MMA or Boxing, sometimes a fight doesn't live up to its expectation, sometimes unknown fights end up being fight of the year, that's the fight game. Theres been a string if very good fights lately in boxing, I've been excited each week. The two sports gotta stop haten man
Wilder IS number one, just possessing that lethal right hand is enough. No one in HW has a single thing to compare. Even Mayweather in a 12 round bout he gets touched so the one sure way of beating Wilder would be round one risk your life by pressure pressure until he’s vanished think 🤔 any other tactic is riskier. The guy possess power all the way to 12 rd
Made it through that fight ? Joshua won 11 rounds if not 12 lol
Dana White is the Man
DaZone is a project in the works
Did he say that KSI and Logan made a million bucks each? Thought he was better informed than that.
Numbers means numbers melt
Yes AJ got hit with some shots in the rematch but wasn’t as damaging as the ones he took in the first fight his legs looked stable from what I seen anyway
Dana in boxing would work, convincing wilder and co is the issue
Tyson's gonna move round wilder so quick tht the wind his moves leaves behind is gonna snap wilders chicken legs...
It amazes me the two fighters with the worst resumes are apparently the best... 😂
Scottys shizzle I just don’t get it, it’s like these “experts” have no idea what they’re talking about
Lee Ronnie wouldn’t say Dana white is a boxing expert tbf
So he bet on AJ despite what happened on 1st June. AJ hardly loses a round. Dominates Ruiz. Dana still not impressed? Wilder Ruiz needs to happen so we can see where we are at
No way Wilder fights Ruiz during his career. He wouldn't even move away from Ortiz.
Hahaha.. Why the would ruiz fight wilder?? Joshua has to fight the winner of Wilder and Fury.. No exceptions! Whyte could fight the winner of that..
Styles make fights
emk123 ruiz would get killed by wilder
Ruiz vs Wilder would be FANTASTIC. I think Wilder puts him to sleep,but man oh man it would be a REAL heavyweight war. I imagine that it would look something like Holyfield vs. Foreman,except with Foreman (Ruiz) getting KO'd at some point.
In 1 years time not only will Joshua have hair like Audley Harrison, he'll fight like Audley Harrison too
Ok John keep taking the meds buddy.
dana so right about dazn production, it's so old school and horrible kills so much time waiting for the main event it's ridiculous. Hope Dana and Floyd change the game tired of the best not fighting the best.
Haha is he from the past!?! totally clueless about boxing. AJ put on a masterclass!
Nathan williams I wouldn’t call it a masterclass pmsl
This is a repost
This guy is just a legend and boxing should copy ufc style and make the best of the best fight each other , boxing is like a tv show now
What?! Like a TV show. What does that even mean?
Liam Wolstenholme I’m assuming he means it’s like a soap opera, all story and none of the top dogs face each other to much drama
Liam Wolstenholme like a soap opera
The UFC doesn't always make the best fight each other!!
UFC works because the UFC owns all the fighters right? Dana sits at the top and just picks the matchups. There are several Dana Whites in boxing. It's not that simple.
Dana White feels threatened by Eddie Hearn. Hearn is the best promoter of boxing right now
If this guy could bring us Crawford/Spence, Wilder/Joshua, May-Pac2, I don't care if the mob runs boxing...
He’s so right about DAZN production value. Their shows just look ugly.
