De La Hoya Intensifies Feud With Dana White, Calls Zuffa Boxing 'A Failed Science Project'

His latest remarks challenge Zuffa’s fighter caliber, tiny Apex crowds, forced uniforms, plus a newly created belt.

Overview

  • Oscar De La Hoya used his recurring Instagram ‘Clap Back Thursday’ to denounce Zuffa Boxing and label the venture a failure.
  • He described recent Apex cards as “club shows” staged before very small audiences and questioned the quality of opponents.
  • De La Hoya argued fighters are required to wear generic gear that stifles personal branding and visibility.
  • He mocked the promotion’s proprietary title as lacking lineage, noting the belt is slated to debut on March 8 in Jai Opetaia’s fight.
  • In a separate media scrum in Las Vegas, he called Dana White a liar as their years-long rivalry escalated following Zuffa’s third event.
