Derek Chisora Attacks Dana White Over Fighter Treatment

Heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora publicly criticized Dana White, claiming the promoter operates like a "slave owner" by turning away fighters seeking to compete on his platform. Speaking with Fight Hub TV following a Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua press conference, Chisora argued that fighters are unfairly discarded when told they are not good enough, rather than being given opportunities to improve.

Boxing 24/7 Wire argues that Chisora's comparison is unfounded, noting that he provided no specific examples to support his harsh accusation. The publication highlights Conor Benn's lucrative move to Zuffa Boxing—which reportedly included a $15 million purse to face Regis Prograis—as evidence that White's platform delivers substantial financial rewards and high-profile opportunities.
