Dana White has stopped listening to Eddie Hearn amid Fury-Joshua talks

Dana White isn't interested in getting dragged into the latest round of Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua negotiations and has little patience for Eddie Hearn’s comments.

UFC CEO Dana White has distanced himself from the latest negotiations surrounding Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's potential heavyweight bout. Reports have surfaced suggesting that the two fighters have agreed to meet on November 20 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. When questioned about the specific date and location, White provided a noncommittal answer before shifting his focus to Eddie Hearn, the promoter involved in the talks.

After discussing the potential fight, White was asked about recent comments made by Hearn regarding the fight taking place in the United Kingdom and the possibility of legal action if Joshua were booked without a contractual agreement. White bluntly stated that he had stopped listening to Hearn's public comments around three months ago, questioning the validity of Hearn's statements.

White concluded the exchange by asserting that he is not interested in engaging in the ongoing disputes between the promoters and fighters, and would prefer to see how the situation unfolds.
