Eddie Hearn and Dana White dispute Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury venue

Summary

Promoter Eddie Hearn says Dana White is uninvolved in negotiations for the heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. While the original contract mandates a United Kingdom location, broadcasting partner Netflix seeks a venue in the United States. White criticized Hearn for his management of the deal, suggesting that talks are near a collapse. Hearn maintains that he is working with Netflix and SELA to finalize a date within the U.K. Cardiff’s Principality Stadium has emerged as a potential venue due to its roof, which would mitigate winter weather conditions in November or December. However, potential scheduling conflicts with a scheduled rugby test match between Wales and Australia remain an obstacle.
