Fury-Joshua fight in doubt as White uncertain over blockbuster bout
Netflix says Dana White will co-promote the bout, but Eddie Hearn says a contract bars his involvement and may delay the launch event.
- On Wednesday, the December 11 heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at Cardiff's Principality Stadium remains uncertain due to an intense promotional dispute over Dana White's involvement.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn contests the inclusion of UFC CEO Dana White, arguing that White's role as a collaborator alongside Turki Alalshikh violates Joshua's contract regarding promotional rights.
- Fury accused Joshua and Hearn of attempting to withdraw, calling them "cowards" in an expletive-filled social media video and labeling Hearn an ego-driven obstacle to boxing history.

- Netflix and Turki Alalshikh continue to list White as a collaborator, while Hearn maintains the UFC boss's involvement is a contractual breach, leaving the event's promotional structure unresolved.
