Dana
White isn’t interested in getting dragged into the latest round
of Tyson
Fury–Anthony
Joshua negotiations and has little patience for Eddie Hearn’s
comments.
Reports recently surfaced claiming Fury and Joshua have agreed to
meet Nov. 20 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. When asked
about the reported date and venue, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO offered a noncommittal
response before turning his attention to Hearn.

UFC CEO Dana White brushes off Eddie Hearn during Tyson
Fury-Anthony Joshua negotiations
Speaking after
Week 2 of
Dana White’s Contender Series 2026, White responded to reports
of Joshua-Fury negotiations and recent comments from Hearn.
White was asked about reports that Hearn still wants the fight
staged in the United Kingdom and had raised the possibility of
legal action if Joshua were booked without a contractual agreement.
The UFC boss said he has largely stopped paying attention to
Hearn’s public comments.
“I stopped listening to Eddie Hearn about three months ago,” White
said. “Is there anybody more full of sh*t than this guy? Come
on.”
The exchange came after White was asked whether he was involved in
an expected announcement next week regarding the heavyweight
showdown.
“I don’t know. You might want to ask the promoters of the fight,”
White said before adding, “I’m not going to play these games with
these f*cking guys. You know what I mean? Let’s see what
happens.”
