Dana White Name Draws Negative Reaction at Fury vs. Joshua Event
Published

The story
The boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, scheduled for December 11 in Cardiff, became a focal point for the crowd during a recent press conference at the British Airways ARC in London. Although Dana White was not in attendance, event financier Turki Alalshikh mentioned the UFC CEO during his remarks, which prompted a vocal negative reaction from those in attendance.
Promoter Eddie Hearn, who has been involved in a public disagreement with White for several months, appeared to be in good spirits during the exchange. While Alalshikh acknowledged White and thanked TKO Group Holdings, the extent of White's involvement, if any, in the upcoming Netflix-broadcasted event remains unconfirmed. Nick Khan, an executive with TKO Group Holdings and WWE, was present at the conference.
