‘Everybody wants that phone number’ as Zuffa’s influence grows

“Zuffa likes the new chick on the block. Everybody wants that phone number bro. Everybody wants to call her phone number. Everybody wants to hang out with that chick on the block. May she stay beautiful forever,” Chisora ​​told Secondsout.

The heavyweight veteran also admitted to welcoming the arrival of a new player in the sport, expressing fatigue with boxing’s long-established promotional landscape.

“Listen, I like Zuffa because I was just tired of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren,” Chisora ​​said.

Chisora ​​then highlighted the financial muscle he believes Zuffa possesses as he seeks to establish himself in boxing.

“When Ben Shalom did it on Sky, there were so many insults on Ben Shalom. This and this and this. He lost a deal. Yeah. And then suddenly Zuffa came in.”

“He’s got bigger (resources) than Eddie and Frank combined. Do you understand? Yeah. He can do whatever the hell they want.”

Chisora’s comments come at a time when Dana White’s involvement in boxing continues to generate discussion in the industry. Tyson Fury recently appeared in Washington with White, while several prominent fighters have been linked to Zuffa’s long-term plans for the sport.

Chisora’s comments came shortly after Dana White’s White House appearance alongside Tyson Fury and other combat sports figures, an event that showcased the reach and star power surrounding Zuffa’s growing boxing project.

For Chisora, the message is clear: fighters pay attention. As Zuffa expands its footprint in the sport, he believes more boxers will be eager to answer that call.
