The story

Less than 48 hours after being officially announced for December 11 in Cardiff, Wales, the highly anticipated heavyweight superfight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is in jeopardy. Sources cited by boxing insider Mike Coppinger indicate that complications have arisen, casting doubt on the event's viability. While the exact nature of the issues remains unconfirmed, reports suggest potential conflicts regarding the involvement of UFC CEO Dana White in promotional efforts.

Reports indicate that Terence Crawford versus Ryan Garcia is being discussed as a possible replacement fight. Additionally, Coppinger noted that a bout between Tyson Fury and David Benavidez is another consideration if the primary matchup is canceled. Fury has publicly stated that he personally removed contractual language restricting Dana White’s involvement in the event. No further details on the status of the Netflix broadcast have been finalized.
