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.
