Joshua vs Fury now or never – White

Dana White, the head of Zuffa Boxing, has expressed doubt over the Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury fight, questioning whether both fighters are committed to making it happen. Joshua and Fury signed contracts for their highly anticipated bout earlier this year, but a confirmed date and venue have yet to be announced. Netflix, which is planning to broadcast the event, initially suggested New York as the location for the November 20 fight, but Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, prefer a UK setting as per their agreement.

White's involvement in the deal has been limited to television and venue arrangements, with the main sticking point being the location. Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, acknowledged the contract discrepancies between Joshua and Fury, stating that if the venue disagreement persists, the fight may not take place. White emphasized that for a fight to occur, both fighters must want to participate, ultimately highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the situation.
