Dana
White’s recent comments suggest Tyson Fury
vs. Anthony
Joshua is on the verge of falling apart.

White has been involved in negotiations, frequently clashing with
Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn, but the
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO now says the talks have
reached a critical point. This comes after the disagreements on the
fight’s location, with Hearn and Joshua pushing for London’s
Wembley Stadium while Fury’s side has favored Madison Square Garden
in New York City.

Dana White says Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua is close to
falling through amid the Eddie Hearn dispute

After Hearn repeatedly blamed White for stalled negotiations, the
latter responded during a recent media scrum.

“I know he wants to think he’s the promoter,” White said in a media
scrum captured by iFL TV. “I’ve never seen a guy who is supposed to
be the promoter of an event hurt the fight more than this guy has.
There is no fight.”

White was then asked whether he’s close to walking away from the
negotiations.

“Yes, we’re literally f*cking right there,” he said. “It’s f*cking
silly now. If it happens in the U.K., there’s a lot less money
involved. My job is to come in, figure out how to make both of
those guys money and make the other people involved money. If Eddie
doesn’t like the way this is going down, then rip up the contract
and do the fight yourself. Whether this fight happens or not, my
life goes on and I’m going to do just fine.”
