Fury Vs. Joshua Superfight Already In Jeopardy Due To ‘Issues’
We are less than two days removed from Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua being announced for Dec. 11 LIVE on Netflix in Cardiff, Wales, and the heavyweight boxing superfight is already in jeopardy of being called off. If you’re a boxing fan you know how long it has taken to finally put ink to paper […]
London, United Kingdom - September 25: The highly anticipated heavyweight boxing superfight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, originally scheduled for December 11 on Netflix in Cardiff, Wales, may now be in jeopardy as sources report potential issues with the event. The clash between these two boxing megastars has been eagerly awaited, as they have been on a collision course for years, with the goal of crowning the best English heavyweight fighter of the past decade.
However, according to a recent report by boxing insider Mike Coppinger, unnamed sources are concerned that the Netflix superfight might be canceled. The reason for the potential cancellation remains unclear, but a replacement fight between Terence Crawford and Ryan Garcia is already being discussed. It is also possible that a Tyson Fury-David Benavidez fight could be considered.
The primary concern seems to be the ongoing public dispute between Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn and UFC CEO Dana White, who is assisting Turki Alalshikh in promoting the heavyweight superfight. The contract between Joshua and White states that White is prohibited from promoting the fight, while Fury intentionally excluded this clause, expressing his desire for UFC's mastermind to be involved.
Although the exact issue remains unknown, the boxing world now awaits further updates to determine the fate of the much-anticipated Fury vs. Joshua bout, which could be replaced by a fight between Crawford and Garcia or Benavidez.
