Despite Netflix and Turki Alalshikh announcing Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua superfight, not everything is sorted out. Eddie Hearn remains insistent on not allowing Dana White to promote the superfight set for December.

Hearn and White were once very good friends, but the UFC CEO’s entry into boxing ruined their friendship. Hearn cannot the promote the superfight due to his contract with DAZN. He also doesn’t want White to get the promoter duties and will do anything to stall the superfight.

While the British boxing promoter continues to campaign for White’s exclusion, Fury is upset with how things are turning out. To that end, he went online on Instagram to expose what Hearn’s tactics to pull Joshua out of their superfight.

Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn are trying to pull out of this fight. They’re saying they’re not gonna fight now… This is mainly to do with Eddie Hearn’s ego and he’s making up a million different excuses… I hope you’re happy you little cowardly bastards. I’ve never seen anything like this… And this is mainly to do with Eddie Hearn’s ego. What a little prick. It’s cost us the biggest fight in boxing history. Clown.

Fury also revealed that Turki Alalshikh would look for suitable replacements if Hearn and Joshua pulls out of the fight. At the moment, the superfight doesn’t look like it will happen.

After all, Hearn was insistent from day one that White or TKO cannot be part of the Fury vs Joshua superfight.

Initially, Alalshikh and Netflix wanted the superfight to happen at MSG in New York. However, Joshua and Hearn relentlessly campaigned for a UK venue to please their fellow compatriots.

Such demands from Joshua and Hearn made the negotiators take a long time to finalize the fight. Meanwhile, Fury blasted Joshua and Hearn for stalling the negotiations around a month back.

His reaction on Instagram shows his frustrations with how things are panning out to book this long-awaited superfight. So far, Fury, Alalshikh and Dana White remains unfazed by the developments.

Tyson Fury explains why Dana White can be involved in his superfight against Anthony Joshua

Dana White’s involvement in Fury vs Joshua became clear when he invited ‘The Gypsy King’ to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House. Ever since, White and Fury had formed an alliance. The former heavyweight champion praised White for negotiating the superfight with Netflix.

‘The Gypsy King’ fought twice this year. He defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov via decision and stopped Mariusz Wach to tune up for the Joshua superfight.

Now, Fury wants to team up with the UFC CEO for his next fight and made sure to remove clauses from his contract. By doing so, he explained how Hearn had clauses in Joshua’s contract to exclude White.

In Joshua’s contract, apparently, it says that they can’t…they couldn’t, TKO and Dana, couldn’t be involved. But, that was in mine, but I took it out. I took it out so he could be involved. Yeah, I want him involved. Two baldies together. I like Dana. Good businessman and a good guy. A man who come from nothing to being a billionaire. And look what he done with the UFC. Unbelievable. I think he can do really well in boxing. Think he drives Eddie Hearn out, feeds him to the fishes.

Tyson Fury said

The former WBC champion removing such clauses will help White promote the fight. However, Hearn will not like this development and insists that his contract needs to be honored. This is why there is a chance that the superfight may not happen.

Meanwhile, Dana White posted a photo on Instagram. The photo showed him speaking to Alalshikh on a video call. It appears all things are fine from White and Alalshikh’s ends, whereas Hearn and ‘AJ’ has yet to respond to this new development.
