Dana White Receives Boos During Fury vs. Joshua Press Conference

On September 30, 2026, former heavyweight boxing champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua held a press conference to promote their upcoming fight card. The event is scheduled to take place on December 11, 2026, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

While UFC CEO Dana White did not attend the proceedings, his name was mentioned by Turki Alalshikh. Upon the mention of White's name, the audience in attendance responded with audible boos. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who represents Anthony Joshua, was present during the interaction.

Reports indicate that Joshua's current contract allegedly contains provisions that prevent White from participating in the event's promotion, a detail that has previously been cited as a potential complication for the matchup.
