Tyson Fury Blames Eddie Hearn’s Ego For Joshua Delay
Fury says Hearn’s unhappiness over Dana White and TKO is holding up the heavyweight showdown, leaving the fight only 50/50 to happen.
- Tyson Fury blamed promoter Eddie Hearn's ego for delaying his November bout against Anthony Joshua at Madison Square Garden, despite both fighters signing contracts with Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority.
- Hearn reportedly feels disgruntled about Dana White and TKO's involvement in the event, leaving the heavyweight clash at 50/50 odds. "Why should they be involved?" Fury questioned their participation.
- Fury, who turned 38 in August, has won 36 professional bouts, suffering his only losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024 after the pair failed to agree on terms in 2021.
- Stepping into the ring against a substitute in November remains an option, though such a bout lacks the domestic clash's public appeal; Fury previously defeated Polish opponent Mariusz Wach in July.
- Fans criticized Fury for calling New York City "the land of opportunity," questioning why an all-British fight is held in the United States rather than at Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom.
