Eddie Hearn labels Dana White "absolutely clueless" over claims about the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury bout. This clash of titans is heating up, and what follows reveals the true dynamics behind the negotiations.
Hearn, chairman of Matchroom Sport and Joshua's promoter, fiercely denies White's assertion that he will lead the promotion for this highly anticipated fight. White made headlines by insisting he knows the fight's location and is handling contractual negotiations, but Hearn refutes this, stating he negotiated the fight contract months ago with SELA and Turki Alalshikh.
Hearn emphasizes that Zuffa Boxing, under White's leadership, has no promotional role in the event. He notes a key clause in the contract mandates that Joshua vs. Fury must occur in the UK, with Wembley Stadium as a likely venue. While no date is confirmed, the fight is expected in November, contingent on both fighters winning their upcoming matches.
This ongoing feud intensified after Zuffa Boxing signed British boxer Conor Benn, previously promoted by Hearn. Additionally, White faces legal challenges, with DAZN sending a cease-and-desist to halt interference in Ryan Garcia's contract. Hearn criticizes White's arrogance, underscoring the tensions in this evolving boxing landscape.
