MMA Junkie • • general
Key Points:
- Eddie Hearn expressed strong frustration over Dana White's name being included in the Netflix press release for the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight, insisting White is not involved in the promotion.
- The fight, officially announced for December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, will stream on Netflix and is promoted by Turki Alalshikh's The Ring, with no mention of Hearn or Matchroom, who represent Joshua.
- Hearn criticized White for attempting to claim promoter status despite losing the bid to host the fight in the U.K. and vowed to address Netflix about their contractual obligations regarding White's involvement.
- Dana White had previously insisted the fight would take place at Madison Square Garden in New York, but the final agreement placed the event in the U.K., contradicting White's earlier confident claims.
- The heavyweight superfight is highly anticipated and will feature a press conference in London ahead of the December bout.
