Dana White Doubts Joshua-Fury Fight Over Venue Dispute

Zuffa Boxing boss Dana White has cast doubt on the proposed Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury heavyweight fight, saying the bout should have happened about 10 years ago.

Joshua and Fury have signed contracts to face each other but the date and venue remain unconfirmed, with Netflix reportedly pushing for November 20 in New York while Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn want the fight in the United Kingdom.

White said his involvement in the deal was limited to the television and venue arrangements, with the location now emerging as the major issue.

Joshua holds a professional record of 30 wins, four losses and 27 knockouts, while Fury has 36 wins, two losses, one draw and 25 knockouts.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has warned that the disagreement over where the fight should hold could eventually derail the highly anticipated heavyweight clash.
