Dana White Defends Involvement in Fury-Joshua Event Amid Promoter Dispute

A public dispute has emerged regarding the organizational structure of the December 11 heavyweight bout in Cardiff between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. While promoter Eddie Hearn has characterized the recent promotional rollout as a public relations disaster and asserted that White lacks a formal contractual role in the event, White maintains that he is actively promoting and producing the card.

White missed the event's London launch press conference, attributing his absence to a busy travel schedule following the Dana White’s Contender Series. Despite Hearn stating that Matchroom contracts prevent White’s involvement, the UFC CEO insisted that he is indeed producing the show and dismissed Hearn's criticisms as an attempt to win a public relations battle.
