Hearn may still consider allowing Dana White to be involved in Fury-Joshua, but he believes those negotiations cannot begin while their media war continues.

Hearn disclosed the offer on Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show," noting that the proposal also aimed to stage the British heavyweight clash in the United States.
