Dana White says Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua delay is a ‘total ego thing’ and explains why he won’t be at the press conference
Dana White says the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua issues come down to ego, explains why he won’t be at opening presser
Dana White, the CEO of the UFC, has stated that the delay in the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight is due to an "ego thing" and not a lack of interest in promoting the superfight in December. Despite their public feud, White has been pushing for his involvement in the promotion, while Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has consistently refused.
White insists that everything has been settled, but Hearn has continued to deny these claims. White believes that the issues with booking the Fury-Joshua fight are rooted in ego and not any other factors. He also mentioned that boxing has taken a hit in the United States and is becoming more of a British sport. White confirmed that he will not be present at the opening press conference in London, as he will be at the Contender Series event.
The Fury vs. Joshua fight is expected to take place on December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in Wales.
