Dana White Acknowledges Eddie Hearn's Role in Joshua vs. Fury Venue

The highly anticipated matchup between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury generated significant demand, with 80,000 tickets selling out in less than one hour on October 9. While over 500,000 people remained in the queue, the event has emerged as one of the most successful in boxing history.

Dana White, who previously pushed for the fight to occur at Madison Square Garden in New York City, recently offered praise for the decision to keep the event in the U.K. White noted that while the fight would have succeeded at either location, Hearn and Joshua were correct to advocate for their home market.

Despite the recent compliments, White’s official involvement in the bout remains uncertain due to a contractual clause that reportedly bars TKO from serving as a promoter. White has previously suggested that Hearn pursue legal action if he intends to enforce this restriction.
