Dana White Reveals Contract Detail Behind His Role in Joshua vs Fury Fight
UFC boss Dana White has explained how he is involved in the highly anticipated boxing showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, despite questions over contractual restrictions. White said the agreement prevents Zuffa and TKO from participating but does not personally bar him from taking part in the event.
White told The Sun that he was brought into the project because Turki Alalshikh and Netflix wanted him involved. The fight between the two British heavyweight stars is scheduled for December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, with about 80,000 fans expected to attend.
White also predicted that the event would set a new British boxing gate-receipt record, estimating earnings of around $34 million (£26 million). He said fewer than 700 tickets remained after more than 500,000 people reportedly queued for tickets, surpassing the current UK record of £14 million generated by Joshua’s 2024 fight against Daniel Dubois.
