Dana White Reacts as Tom Aspinall joins Eddie Hearn's Matchroom
Tom Aspinall inks a deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom, prompting Dana White to reaffirm the UFC champ status amid a feud with the boxing promoter.
Tom Aspinall, the UFC heavyweight champion, has inked a deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom, a move that comes just weeks after Conor Benn switched to White’s Zuffa Boxing.
The development signals a potentially widening crossover between boxing promoters and UFC stars, and it has already stirred conversation in combat sports about how fighters manage multi-promotions.
White, speaking publicly about the industry shake-up, reiterated that Aspinall remains his heavyweight champion and emphasized that loyalty to the UFC belt is what matters most.
Matchroom's new talent agency is expanding the boxing promoter’s reach, and the Aspinall move follows Benn's departure, highlighting a period of disruption and cross-promo experimentation.
Fans will watch closely to see how Aspinall balances training, his UFC commitments, and any boxing bouts under Matchroom in the future.
