White casts doubt on Fury-Joshua after 24 hours of chaos
There is fresh uncertainty around the proposed Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua fight - after Dana White said he did not know whether it would happen.
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury were officially set to face each other in Cardiff on December 11th, but uncertainty has arisen surrounding the bout. Dana White, UFC president and Zuffa Boxing chief, was asked about the fight's validity. "I don't know," White responded, speaking at a Zuffa Boxing event in London.
White's involvement in the Fury-Joshua promotion has created controversy. Zuffa Boxing's Turki Alalshikh is involved in the fight's promotion, but this has led to disputes over who is entitled to promote the event. Matchroom's Eddie Hearn, who has promoted Joshua, and Queensberry's Frank Warren, who promotes Fury, have both expressed concerns over the partnership. Hearn claimed there were contractual breaches that needed to be resolved, casting doubt on the news conference scheduled for Wednesday.
Fury had a different interpretation. In a video, he accused Joshua and Hearn of trying to pull out of the fight, pointing to Hearn's objection to White as the main issue. Fury-Joshua is set to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on December 11th, but the contractual disagreement between the parties remains unresolved.
