Promoter Eddie Hearn says he is considering legal action against UFC president Dana White, disputing White’s claims that he was involved in brokering the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight. Hearn argues White’s stated role is inaccurate and says he “should be suing” White instead, according to the reports.
The outlets frame the dispute as part of an ongoing battle over promotion rights and credit for arranging the matchup. Yahoo Sports reports that the public back-and-forth is becoming a distraction from the fight itself. The Punch (Nigeria) similarly reports that Hearn threatens to sue White over what it describes as White’s claims about brokering the event.
White has responded to Hearn’s statements, though the coverage emphasizes that the two sides remain at odds over who played what role in bringing the fight together and whether White’s public comments are legitimate. Overall, the reporting centers on a disagreement about interference and attribution rather than changes to the fight’s scheduled status.
