The Story in 60 Seconds

Dana White has credited Eddie Hearn for ensuring the heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua takes place in the UK rather than the United States. White and Saudi organisers preferred New York's Madison Square Garden, but Hearn and Joshua exercised their contractual right to host the event domestically. The fight is set for the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, starting on December 11.

White noted that while he and his team will help produce the Netflix-streamed event alongside Frank Warren and Hearn, he has grown bored of his ongoing feud with Hearn. Despite previous friction regarding White's promotional role through Zuffa Boxing, White stated the focus should remain on the fighters rather than disputes between promoters.
