Eddie Hearn denies Dana White is promoting Fury vs Joshua fight
Eddie Hearn has denied Dana White’s claims that he will promote the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight.
Last month, Hearn confirmed that Joshua had he signed that he wanted to fight Fury’s long-time rival later this year.
The long-awaited and long-awaited British grudge match is likely to air in November on streaming giant Netflix, which broadcast Fury’s victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.
White, the Zuffa Boxing boss, has stated that he will be promoting the long-awaited British mega fight.
“I’m doing the Tyson Fury vs. AJ fight,” White said during the Kick with Nina Drama broadcast on Thursday.
Hearn, Joshua’s longtime promoter, denied that his American rival had taken over.
“What a power grabber,” the match room chairman wrote on his Instagram story.
“There is no chance and it is contractually impossible.
“Let me know when you find the eggs.”
“𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘”

Hearn and White have been at odds for months since the UFC boss entered boxing alongside Zuffa, and the pair have even talked about potentially fighting each other.
Their rivalry intensified when Conor Benn left Matchroom and joined Zuffa in a lucrative one-fight contract worth $15 million.
Benn signed a fresh long-term contract with White after beating Regis Prograis last month, with Hearn hinting at legal action in the situation.
The Matchroom boss has once again attacked White, insisting that he claims he will promote the Fury vs Makhmudov fight, but instead the event will be promoted by Spencer Brown’s Goldstar Promotions.
“Oh yes, they said they were promoting this one too [Fury vs Makhmudov].
“What happened?”
Joshua will make his first return since Jake Paul’s sixth-round knockout in December when he faces undefeated Albanian Kristian Prenga in Riyad on July 25.
10 days after Paul’s arrest, “AJ” escaped with minor injuries after a fatal car crash in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends.
Fury is expected to fight again before finally meeting Joshua, with his victory over Makhmudov being his first since retiring.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
