Anthony Joshua makes new Turki Alalshikh and Netflix claim ahead of Tyson Fury fight

  • Anthony Joshua believes Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh and Netflix want him to lose to Tyson Fury after he successfully insisted on staging their super-fight in the UK.
  • The bout is scheduled for 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, a venue change from New York that Alalshikh says will cost $70m in revenue.
  • Joshua feels fight organisers favour Fury due to his opponent's stronger ties to Netflix and Alalshikh, but insisted he is ready to defeat those who want him to fail.
  • Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that recent promotional disputes regarding UFC head Dana White have been resolved, leaving Joshua completely confident the bout will go ahead.
  • Hearn stated White is currently barred from promotional involvement, though he remains open to future talks if White can add value to the event for Matchroom and Joshua.
