Dana White and Eddie Hearn Clash Over Fury vs. Joshua Production Roles

Published

The story

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are scheduled to meet in Cardiff, Wales, on December 11. Ahead of the event, UFC CEO Dana White has asserted that his team is responsible for producing the live broadcast for Netflix. White likened the arrangement to his previous work on the Canelo-Crawford fight, stating he plans to attend the event while overseeing production.

In contrast, Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn has rejected these claims, citing contractual prohibitions against the UFC's involvement. Hearn noted that he consulted with SELA, the event's Saudi Arabian funders, who allegedly confirmed in writing that White’s claims are untrue. Hearn publicly questioned White’s stance, while White has maintained that his team, including Craig Borsari and Zach, will handle the show's production.
