  "account": "Dana White's response to Eddie Hearn's claims about his involvement in the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight has escalated the rivalry further. White, UFC president and promoter of the event, dismissed Hearn's allegations, insisting he is the promoter and responsible for producing the entire event. His comments came after he was absent from the first press conference for the Fury-Joshua fight, which White attributed to a short travel window between his Contender Series and UFC 332 festivities. Hearn took this opportunity to criticize White, suggesting he had lost control and could not be involved in the fight. White responded by accusing Hearn of trying to win a PR battle and warned him about the consequences of his actions. The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) confirmed that Queensberry, Matchroom, and Sela are the promoters of the fight, which is scheduled to take place on December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.",
