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.”
