The Story in 60 Seconds

Dana White has expressed uncertainty over whether the heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will take place as scheduled on December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Speaking at London's Copper Box on Saturday, the Zuffa Boxing chief said he did not know if the fight or its planned Wednesday press conference would go ahead following promotional disputes.

The bout, announced alongside Netflix and Turki Alalshikh, omitted traditional promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren from the initial announcement. Matchroom's Hearn claimed Joshua's contract explicitly barred White and TKO from promoting the event, alleging contractual breaches, whereas Fury stated he had an identical restriction removed to ensure White's involvement.
