It seems that Frank Warren has ruled out the possibility of being the main promoter of the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua match.

Fury and Joshua have signed contracts to fight in the highly anticipated heavyweight battle later this year.

There is an ongoing discussion between Warren [Fury’s promoter], Eddie Hearn [Joshua’s promoter] and Zuffa Boxing boss Dana White on who will take over the promotional lead for the mega fight, which is being bankrolled by Saudi Arabian boxing boss Turki Alalshikh.

White claimed he would be in charge despite having no contracts with either man, while Hearn and Warren stated that the contracts excluded Zuffa from any involvement in the show.

However, Warren admitted that neither his company Queensberry nor Hearn’s Matchroom – which has exclusive broadcast deals with streaming service DAZN – can promote the fight, which is likely to end up on Netflix.

“We have an exclusive deal with DAZN for our fights in the UK,” said the 74-year-old talkSPORT.

“As for the Tyson vs. Joshua fight, it will be available on Netflix.

“So if the fight was in the UK and it was on Netflix, we wouldn’t be able to promote it anyway. The same goes for Eddie Hearn, he’s in the same situation.

“If you remember, Eddie, who is the promoter of “AJ,” his last fight was promoted by Jake Paul.”

Fury made headlines over the weekend after attending UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, where he was photographed alongside White and US President Donald Trump.

The “Gypsy King” teased White’s announcement regarding his future, and the UFC boss said it would be announced soon.

But on Wednesday, Fury’s manager denied the deal with Zuffa, insisting that the 37-year-old was invited by Alalshikh, who worked with White to launch Zuffa.

Warren also assured that the two-time world heavyweight champion remains under contract with him.

“Tyson hasn’t signed a contract with anyone,” he added.

– I have a contract with him.

“I’m very, very cheerful with that, and our business relationship has been, and continues to be, good.

“I don’t have any problems.

Joshua will make his first return on July 25 against Kristian Prengi in Saudi Arabia.

Fury, who retired in April to defeat Arslanbek Makhmudov, intends to have another warm-up fight in August before finally facing “AJ” in November.

Moses Itauma will move up in his class in his next appearance.

proboxing-fans.com confirmed the report from Heavenly sports that Itauma will face Filip Hrgovic on August 29 at the O2 Arena in London.

The rising British heavyweight last fought in March, defeating Jermaine Franklin in five rounds.

The victory came just seven months after the 21-year-old defeated former world title challenger Dillian Whyte in the first round.

The undefeated Kent fighter will risk his position as number one in both the WBO and WBA when he faces Hrgovic, who is just behind him in the WBO rankings.

“El Animal” secured the vacant IBF Intercontinental title with a third-round victory over Dave Allen last month.

It was the third victory for the 34-year-old after rebounding from his only professional defeat against Daniel Dubois.

Itauma will be the Croatian’s fifth British opponent in a row, following his last four fights against David Adeleye and Joe Joyce, which he won by unanimous decision.

“I want to fight anyone in the division. Moses, anyone,” he said after defeating Allen.

“I just need to talk to the manager and the team, see if there are any injuries or cuts.

“Give me a mirror, I’ll sign the contract now.

“I never run away from any opponent.

“Listen, if I’m vigorous, there’s no problem for me.

“We need to see what’s going on. I need to rest.

“Moses never reached the promised land.”

Itauma has been linked with an all-British clash with WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, but the Londoner is on course for a rematch with Fabio Wardley later this year.

A fight with unified champion Oleksandr Usyk was also discussed, although the Ukrainian ruled out fighting him.

“I don’t want to fight Itauma because he’s a juvenile guy,” said the 39-year-old Inside the Ring.

“I don’t want to break this guy.

“He’s a guy like me.
