Dana White and Eddie Hearn Clash Over Who Will Promote Fury–Joshua on Netflix

The fight’s promotional rights remain unsettled despite Saudi financing, with a late‑2026 target still provisional.

Overview

  • Dana White said on Friday during a KICK livestream that Zuffa Boxing will promote Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua.
  • Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s long-time promoter, rejected the claim as “contractually impossible” and labeled White a “clout chaser.”
  • Pressed after UFC 328, White offered a noncommittal “let’s see what happens” as Frank Warren and Hearn continued to deny any deal.
  • Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh is reported to control commercial rights, with Netflix expected to stream the bout in the fourth quarter of 2026 and no date or venue confirmed.
  • Anthony Joshua remains booked for a July 25 warm-up against Kristian Prenga, so the super fight still depends on both heavyweights clearing tune-up bouts.
