The story

Following the official announcement of the heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, set for December 11 in Cardiff, Matchroom Boxing president Eddie Hearn has stated that Dana White has no role in the event. Hearn emphasized that despite public speculation and a press release from Netflix suggesting a collaboration with White, the contractual agreements keep the UFC CEO excluded.

Hearn claims that prior efforts to move the fight to Madison Square Garden in New York failed, leading to the confirmed U.K. venue. Hearn noted that he is currently addressing the confusion regarding the Netflix press release with organizers, maintaining that his contract prevents White’s involvement. White has not issued a response following the event announcement.
