Dana White and Max Kellerman Clash Over UFC CEO's Role in Fury-Joshua Fight

Published

The story

During a recent broadcast, commentator Max Kellerman suggested that Dana White’s role in the scheduled December bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is limited to serving as a personal assistant to Turki Alalshikh. Kellerman explicitly stated that White is not involved in the capacity of a traditional fight promoter.

White rejected this characterization during the Zuffa 11 post-fight press conference, expressing confusion over Kellerman's statements. White maintained that he is currently promoting the fight and criticized promoter Eddie Hearn, who had previously claimed White played no role in the event. White declined to confirm his attendance at a potential upcoming press conference for the fight.
