Follow Us
The Oscar De La Hoya and Dana White feud goes way back. There is still a sense of tension between the two promoters. But in an unexpected turn, the narrative might take a path less traveled.
The two promoters used to be great friends and have been pictured together on several occasions. In 2017, their feud began as the former boxing champion wrote a letter to the fans to boycott the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight. This didn’t go down well with Dana White, as he had helped De La Hoya promote fights back in the day. Hence, this complete turnaround was unacceptable.

Things got intense sometime around UFC 244. De La Hoya waited for the UFC event to finish before he staged the fight between Canelo Vs Kovalev. Subsequently, the UFC President didn’t hesitate to express his disdain for the Golden Boy Promotions founder. He called De La Hoya all sorts of names.

While he was in the middle of an Instagram live session, a fan asked him about the current status of his relationship with White. Answering this in the best of spirits, Oscar said, “Dana White? Come on! What am I going to say about Dana White? You know what, I forgive the guy for whatever he says. He might be having issues and problems in his life and he might be too stressed and I understand that.”

“I’m a very forgiving guy so you know whatever has been said and maybe I had stuff in my life as well and I said stuff about him. Hopefully, we can just crush it once and for all and just move on. You stick to MMA and I’ll stick to boxing.”
Oscar De La Hoya wants to patch this up, but do you think Dana White will share the boxing promoter’s mindset?
