Brief
Fury‑Joshua press conference in doubt over Dana White involvement
Eddie Hearn says Dana White is barred from the event, while White insists he will be involved.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's first press conference, set for 30 September at 6 pm BST in the British Airways ARC at Olympia, is reportedly in jeopardy.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, says a clause in Joshua's contract prohibits UFC president Dana White from taking part, and Hearn has stated White "won’t be at the presser". He added that Netflix’s press release mentioning White was inaccurate.
White, however, told Sky Sports that the Netflix announcement confirms his involvement and that he has been clear from the start that he will help promote the fight.
Matchroom Boxing’s schedule for the fight week omits the traditional Wednesday media day, leading some fans to speculate the press conference may be cancelled.
