Famed boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya has weighed in on Dana White being caught on video striking his wife, Anne.
On New Year’s Eve, UFC president Dana White was filmed slapping his wife. Now, the former boxing world champion Oscar De La Hoya has shared his thoughts on the matter on Twitter.
Oscar De La Hoya shared:
“My good friend [Dana White] is so greedy he decided to steal fighter pay from his new league on TBS ‘Power Slap’ by getting fighter of the night against his WIFE. Those Boston aerobic instructors are real tough guys.”
The 49-year-old Oscar De La Hoya has a long history with Dana White. The two combat sports promoters have publicly criticized one another in a feud that dates back years.
Dana White is currently trying to launch Power Slap League, a slapping competition. De La Hoya recognizes the irony of White getting public attention by way of slapping his partner. De La Hoya also jabbed that before Dana White was the UFC president he was a boxing aerobics instructor in Boston.
In 2014, former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was caught on video striking his partner. At the time, White decried the situation. Speaking in an interview with FOX Sports Live, Dana White declared:
“Here’s one thing that you never bounce back from and that’s putting your hands on a woman. Been that way in the UFC since we started here. You don’t bounce back from putting your hands on a woman.”
Anne and Dana have been married for 26 years. Since this indecent has gone public, Endeavor, the parent company of the UFC, has suffered a fall in its stock.
Earlier this year, Dana White commented on his ongoing feud with De La Hoya. White said there was no way to recover that friendship. In an interview with GQ Sport, the UFC president said:
“[Oscar De La Hoya] and I were actually friends. I used to go to his fights, I used to watch his fights, I used to promote his fights. That guy did way too much damage for us to ever be friends again.”

Oscar De La Hoya has taken issue with middleweight kingpin and former Golden Boy Promotion’s client, Canelo Alvarez’s unanimous decision win over Kazakhstan native, Gennady Golovkin in the pair’s trilogy matchup over the weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada – describing the capping matchup as a “f*cking dud”.
De La Hoya, a former multiple-time world champion himself, ripped former promotional star, Alvarez for his second career win over the veteran, Golovkin, as well as claiming the latter was “old”.
Thrice sharing the squared circle, Canelo first met with Golovkin back in September 2017, with the duo battling over the course of 12 rounds to a controversial split decision draw.
The following year in the same month, Canelo managed to defeat Golovkin – handing the Kazakh his first career loss in another dubious and controversial majority decision effort.
Sharing the ring with Golovkin last weekend in the third matchup between the two, Canelo Alvarez, who successfully defended his five championships, turned in a rather one-sided unanimous decision win over the former, who was questioned for his sudden lax in output compared to his prior fights with the Mexico favorite.
Sharing his thoughts on the blockbuster pairing, De La Hoya lambasted the fight between Canelo and Golovkin, as well as claiming former world champion, Bernard Hopkins was a much better fighter than the former, in a now-deleted tweet.
“The truth is everyone is afraid of speaking the truth, the fight (between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin) was a f*cking dud,” Oscar De La Hoya tweeted. “GGG was old ass (sic) f*ck and Canelo (Alvarez) can’t hold (Bernard) Hopkins’ jockstrap.”
De La Hoya was scheduled to make his boxing return last year as part of a Triller Fight Club event against former UFC light heavyweight champion, Vitor Belfort, however, was replaced by former boxing champion, Evander Holyfield on short notice after testing positive for COVID-19.
Over the years, it has become quite clear that there is no love lost between UFC President Dana White and retired boxing great-turned-promoter Oscar De La Hoya. The rivalry seemed to come to a boiling point when White repeatedly called De La Hoya a “cokehead” following his booking of a trilogy bout with Chuck Liddell […]
Over the years, it has become quite clear that there is no love lost between UFC President Dana White and retired boxing great-turned-promoter Oscar De La Hoya.
The rivalry seemed to come to a boiling point when White repeatedly called De La Hoya a “cokehead” following his booking of a trilogy bout with Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz under the Golden Boy Promotions label. Now the boxing legend is taking a different approach, offering up an apology to the UFC President during a June appearance on ‘The MMA Hour‘ with Ariel Helwani.
“There were some exchanges going back and forth with me and Dana, which I apologized for, 1000 percent.”
Oscar De La Hoya went on to discuss his desire to work with Dana White to build something together in the world of professional boxing.
“I would love to work with him,” De La Hoya said of White. “It would be a lot of fun and interesting to build something together, because boxing is a very fragmented sport, and what the Fertitta brothers did and what Dana did with the UFC is incredible.
“Buying the company many years ago, building it into a powerhouse, building it into a league, building it into what it is now is just so admirable. So yeah, I’m extending an olive branch. I would love to sit down and talk and smooth things out, let bygones be bygones, and then focus on business.”
During his ‘Actually Me‘ segment for GQ Sports, Dana White briefly addressed Oscar De La Hoya’s apology from June. The outspoken face of the UFC believes that the apology was sincere, but there has been far too much damage done to repair their once-friendly relationship.
“I feel like De La Hoya’s apology was sincere, but there’s no way he and I will ever be friends again.”
“He and I were actually friends. I used to go to his fights, I used to watch his fights, I used to promote his fights. That guy did way too much damage for us to ever be friends again.”
As for the possibility of Dana White getting involved in the boxing industry, the UFC President slammed the book shut on that, calling boxing a “corrupt, insane, f*cked up sport.”
