Dana White says he has "no issues" with Eddie Hearn after UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall signed for the boxing promotor's new talent agency.<\/p>\n
Britain's Aspinall joined 'Matchroom Talent Agency'<\/a> on Thursday in a "commercial and advisory" deal rather than a promotional one, meaning the 32-year-old remains signed to the UFC.<\/p>\n The move comes two weeks after boxer Conor Benn left<\/a> Hearn's promotional outfit Matchroom to join White's Zuffa Boxing.<\/p>\n Hearn, 46, has been publicly feuding with UFC president White since the launch of Zuffa.<\/p>\n Speaking before UFC 326 on Saturday, White compared the deal to his relationship with Tito Ortiz – a fighter White used to manage prior to a long-lasting feud.<\/p>\n "We don't have any issues with Eddie, they can get whoever they want to represent them," said White. <\/p>\n "Tito Ortiz used to represent people but we got it done."<\/p>\n Aspinall has been dealing with eye problems since his title fight with Ciryl Gane last October had to be stopped because of repeated eye pokes.<\/p>\n He had double eye surgery in February and it is unclear when he will be able to return to action.<\/p>\n Aspinall became embroiled in the Matchroom-Zuffa Boxing feud when Hearn suggested White "humiliated"<\/a> him by not backing the fighter after the eye controversy.<\/p>\n Earlier in the news conference, White confirmed the fights for the UFC's unprecedented show at the White House on 14 June will be announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n The UFC is spending $60m (\u00a344.3m) to host the one-of-a-kind event in Washington DC to mark 250 years of American independence.<\/p>\n A number of fighters have expressed interest in competing on the card including Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, Alex Pereira, Amanda Nunes, Nate Diaz and Islam Makhachev.<\/p>\nRelated topics<\/h2>\n
