Dana White says he is not being sidelined from the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight and rejects an effort by Eddie Hearn to limit his role in the promotion. White says he is already promoting the bout alongside Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh.
The dispute comes as negotiations around the fight’s promotion and contractual terms intensify. NDTV reports that Fury says he removed a “no Dana” clause from his contract, suggesting White’s involvement is secured despite Hearn’s claims or proposals. The outlets also frame the back-and-forth as a renewed escalation in the wider promotion war surrounding major heavyweight events.
While the accounts focus on the competitive positions of the parties, they align on the core point: White pushes back against Hearn’s attempt to exclude him, and Fury indicates contractual language is changed to allow White’s participation. The reports do not provide specific settlement details or the full legal/contractual wording beyond Fury’s stated removal of the clause.
