  "account": "On September 27, 2021, plans for a much-anticipated heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua came into question after promoter Dana White expressed uncertainty about the fight's progress. The event, scheduled for December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, was touted as one of the most significant fights in British boxing history. Fury confirmed the uncertainty on September 28 via a video shared on social media, suggesting that Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, were contemplating a withdrawal from the all-British heavyweight showdown. Dana White, the UFC president and head of Zuffa Boxing, admitted on September 30 in London that he was unaware of the bout's fate, and he was also uncertain whether a scheduled press conference would be held.",
