Dana White Expects Knockout in Joshua vs Fury Fight

Dana White, the UFC chief executive, has predicted that the heavyweight fight between British rivals Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will end in a knockout before the final bell. This prediction was made during an interview with Sun Boxing, where he expressed excitement about the bout scheduled for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

White did not specify a preferred winner but anticipated an explosive finish. He revealed his involvement in organizing the fight, stating that he was approached by Saudi Arabian boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh and streaming platform Netflix to join the project.

Despite initial reluctance to engage in boxing negotiations, he accepted the opportunity. White praised Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn and Joshua for their efforts to keep the fight in the UK, noting that it could have generated significant revenue in the US but deserved to be held for British fans.

The event is expected to attract a global audience with a record-breaking gate of $34 million.
