Tyson Fury claims Joshua fight at risk due to promoter conflict
Summary

Tyson Fury states that his December bout against Anthony Joshua is in jeopardy amid a dispute between promoters. The match, set for December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, was recently announced after years of negotiations. Fury alleges that Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, is reluctant to collaborate with UFC president Dana White, thus putting the fight in doubt. Hearn has accused White of contractual breaches that he says prevent White's involvement in the promotion. Fury's comments come after months of back-and-forth negotiations, with previous agreements falling through due to various complications.
