Dana White reveals UFC’s involvement in Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight
Dana White addressed missing the first Fury vs. Joshua fight and what the UFC is doing for the event
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 29: UFC President and CEO Dana White addresses questions about his absence from the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua press conference held in London. Despite Eddie Hearn's criticism, White insists that his company is fully involved in the highly anticipated heavyweight bout. On Thursday, White was present at a Contender Series event in Utah, explaining that he had to be there due to scheduling conflicts.
He stated that not only is UFC promoting the fight, but they are also producing it, which he believes is not a PR disaster. This revelation comes after Hearn claimed that White would not be involved in the fight, calling their actions a PR disaster. White disagrees with Hearn, asserting that he is both the promoter and producer of the entire event.
The fight is scheduled to air on Netflix on Dec. 11 from Cardiff, United Kingdom, and the UFC's production team will likely be involved in the event.
