Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua in jeopardy amid dispute between Eddie Hearn and Dana White

  • Tyson Fury has claimed that his long-awaited heavyweight fight against Anthony Joshua, scheduled for 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, is in jeopardy after accusing Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn of pulling out.
  • The dispute reportedly centres on Hearn's reluctance to involve UFC chief Dana White in promoting the event, despite fight financier Turki Alalshikh stating White would collaborate on the Netflix-streamed bout.
  • Fury released videos on social media attacking Hearn's ego and branding Joshua a coward for allowing administrative disagreements to threaten the historic all-British showdown.
  • Reports suggest alternative fights are already being explored by organisers, including Fury facing unified cruiserweight champion David Benavidez or a match between Terence Crawford and Ryan Garcia.
