Fury-Joshua fight in doubt as White uncertain over blockbuster bout

On Thursday, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua were officially announced to meet at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11, but by Saturday, UFC CEO Dana White stated he was unsure if the bout would proceed amid unresolved contractual disagreements.
Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing insists Joshua's contract bars White from promotional involvement, contradicting Netflix's announcement that the UFC CEO would co-promote the event alongside Turki Alalshikh.
During Saturday's post-fight press conference in London, White grew hostile toward reporters, mocking their questions and saying of Hearn: "The guy who is supposed to be helping the fight has been hurting the fight."
Reports suggest the high-profile showdown is in jeopardy, with potential alternative fights for December 11 being discussed, though White indicated clarity should emerge within three or four days.
Netflix continues to list the fight at Principality Stadium despite contractual disputes, while analyst Max Kellerman noted on Saturday's Zuffa Boxing 11 broadcast that White's role involves assisting Alalshikh rather than promoting.
