  "account": "UFC and Zuffa Boxing chief Dana White has dismissed rumors that Tyson Fury may pull out of his December 11 fight against Anthony Joshua due to an injury. The heavyweight bout is scheduled to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with over 70,000 fans expected to attend. Speculation began when former heavyweight champion Frank Bruno claimed on Fight Your Corner with Tony Bellew that he had heard Fury was injured. However, White stated it was the first he had heard of this rumor, expressing hope that it is not true. A recent video posted by Fury showed a mark on his left cheek, believed to be a black eye from his sparring partner, Kevin Lerena, but White and others dismiss this as part of Fury's usual routine. White also mentioned the possibility of an immediate rematch if the fight ends up like the previous Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder fight.",
