Are you surprised by Dana White’s role in Fury vs. Joshua? 👀
Netflix has announced that the UFC CEO will co-promote the monumental event in Cardiff – but Eddie Hearn insists that is not happening.

Can't believe I wasn't asked to provide id to see that top picture.

Del la Hoya cant stand him .Hearn cant stand him. Who can. He's a bluffer bully boy.

True, but he is still one of the best promoters in the world, I’m not surprised Fury wants him involved, also helps him with mind games against Joshua and Hearn.

I think there is no legitimate reason for Dana to be involved, there is already an experienced promoter, there is already an experienced money guy, there are already 2 boxers. Does Dana want to be the ref? Like what function is he required for? Dana is just a greedy prick and hates to think about 2 men fighting without him taking some of the money too.

I tend to agree but why wouldn’t you want one of the most famous combat sports promoters of all time on board with promoting what’s supposed to be one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time?

I’m surprised that Netflix put that press release out. He is contractually NOT ALLOWED to be involved

I’m not surprised but I’m surely annoyed by his involvement

I suspect nothing has been officially agreed and we're set for weeks of boring promoter back and forth. These guys think they are the stars of the show. It's tiresome
george.patten1w ago
Will he though? Still think we’re a long way from this happening. Too many egos involved for this build up to go smoothly

I think he's gonna play some type of role, beacuse the money man clearly wants him too. No doubt it's not agreed and will become another issue over the coming days/weeks.

Oh yes, there will more drama for sure. At some point someone will state how the fight is likely to be cancelled. Then some issue with gloves, type of canvas and something with the ropes. Then the circus 'bad blood' will start, with each stating they properly dislike the other one...

He can be Tyson Fury’s assistant

He won’t. Eddie Hearn has already said it’s a load of nonsense. He can’t promote it contracrually. More rubbish from Dana White. Boring now, he’s been absolutely played by Eddie
jamie.theodosi1w ago
I genuinely am, especially because of how he’s been speaking about it over the past few weeks. It was almost as if he was finally willing to drop it.
