  "account": "UFC and Zuffa Boxing chief Dana White has quashed rumors surrounding Tyson Fury pulling out of his upcoming December 11 fight against Anthony Joshua due to an injury. The heavyweight bout is set to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, drawing an anticipated crowd of over 70,000 spectators. Speculation surrounding Fury's possible injury arose after former heavyweight champion Frank Bruno claimed on Fight Your Corner with Tony Bellew that he had heard Fury was dealing with a potential injury. White, however, stated that he had not received any information to suggest the bout was in jeopardy. White emphasized that he would have been aware of the situation if it were true. The concern grew when Fury posted a video showcasing a mark on the left side of his face, believed to be a black eye. However, experts suggest that this injury might not be severe enough to prevent Fury from competing. Bellew dismissed the rumors as part of Fury's customary mind games. White also hinted at the possibility of an immediate rematch between the two fighters, regardless of the outcome of their upcoming match.",
