Eddie Hearn Criticizes Dana White Following Absence at Fury vs. Joshua Event

Following the official press conference for the Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fight in London on September 30, 2026, promoter Eddie Hearn publicly questioned the involvement of UFC CEO Dana White. Despite previous discussions regarding White’s role as a potential co-promoter, Hearn maintained that existing contracts prohibited such an arrangement.

Hearn stated that White’s absence from the London event demonstrated that he was not permitted to participate in the proceedings. The promoter characterized the situation as a significant public relations failure for White, noting that the fight is scheduled to take place on December 11 in Cardiff, England. Hearn emphasized that he remains focused on the upcoming match while affirming that his organization successfully upheld its contractual boundaries.
