Hearn Threatens Legal Action Against White Over Joshua Fight

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has threatened to sue Dana White, the boss of Zuffa Boxing, accusing him of falsely claiming rights to promote the Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury fight and using Joshua to negotiate a venue deal without authority. This threat arises amid a public feud between Hearn and White, which has been ongoing throughout the year due to White's entry into boxing promotion and signing of some of Hearn's fighters.
Hearn stated that promotional outfit TKO has approached him for involvement in the fight, which he would consider only if it benefits Joshua and his fighters. Hearn confirmed that both camps have signed for the fight, but Team Fury seeks changes to the contract already agreed upon.
Hearn noted that Tyson Fury has agreed to fight in America, while Joshua's side has not yet consented. White dismissed Hearn's claims, stating he stopped listening to him months ago and questioned the validity of Hearn's statements.
