Fury Rips Hearn Over White's Role In Joshua Fight

Tyson Fury has attacked Eddie Hearn over negotiations for his December bout with Anthony Joshua, calling the Matchroom Boxing promoter a "spoiled little posh boy" after Hearn rejected Dana White's involvement in the event.

Fury told FurociTV that he has bent over backward to accommodate Joshua's team throughout the process. "I've been moving the goalpost all the time," he said, per Sherdog. "There's nothing that I haven't agreed to. I'll even tie concrete blocks to my boots to make this fight happen."

Hearn's Objections to White Spark Fury's Outburst

The dispute centers on Hearn's insistence that White cannot play a promotional role. Fury dismissed that stance and argued that Matchroom has no contractual say in who promotes the fight. "Categorically, Eddie Hearn and Matchroom are not the promoter of this fight," Fury said. "They're just not. Contractually, they're not allowed to be the promoter."

Fury credited Turki Alalshikh and Netflix with funding the bout. He said Hearn could have dictated terms if he had put up the money himself, but since he lacks the backing, Alalshikh and the streaming platform are calling the shots.

The fight is set for December 11 in Cardiff.
