Dana White Not Allowed to Take Part in Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua Press Conference in New Update
Eddie Hearn says White cannot join the promotion as organizers try to keep the 48-hour negotiation breakthrough on track.
On Wednesday, September 30, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are expected to hold their first face-to-face press conference at the British Airways Arc in London, keeping their December 11 fight on track.
A dispute arose when UFC CEO Dana White was named as a promoter by Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh, prompting Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn to challenge the involvement based on contractual terms.
Fury's manager Spencer Brown confirmed the boxer enrolled in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association testing program, resolving a final hurdle after a 48-hour negotiation period brought both sides to a "good place."
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn insisted White "won't be at the presser," countering Netflix's earlier press release suggesting collaboration between the UFC CEO and event organizers.
Cardiff's 80,000-capacity Principality Stadium will host the December 11 showdown, marking the culmination of years of failed attempts to secure this British heavyweight clash.
