Triple H and White were spotted at the Irish boxing sensation Callum Walsh’s fight. The rising southpaw from Ireland went toe-to-toe with Ismael Villarreal and beat the hometown boxer by unanimous decision. It was a seven-bout card’s main event at a sold-out Madison Square Garden theater.

White and Triple H have been building their bond since the UFC and WWE merger. The two have been spotted together multiple times as they both now work together under TKO. Working for Vince McMahon, White has not had good words for the CEO of the WWE. However, he has never said anything negative about Hunter.
