Dana White’s Claim to Promote Fury–Joshua Draws Eddie Hearn Denial

The dispute highlights Saudi control of the rights, leaving the event's promoter unclear.

Overview

Dana White said on a Kick livestream in Newark on Friday that his Zuffa Boxing outfit will promote Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua.
Eddie Hearn replied on Instagram that White’s role is “contractually impossible” and called him a clout chaser.
Reports say Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh holds the commercial rights, with the fight expected to stream on Netflix.
Hearn says Matchroom will run Anthony Joshua’s July 25 warm-up against Kristian Prenga, with Saudi organizer Sela to stage the later Fury bout.
Key terms, date, and venue for the main event remain unannounced, with late 2026 reported and rival promoters still vying for control.
