Eddie Hearn wants 'back-and-forth debate' with Dana White at Fury vs Joshua press conference
Hearn says he is 'certain' White will be at the fight, as the two dispute who can promote and produce the Netflix bout in Cardiff on 11 December.
Eddie Hearn wants a public debate with Dana White over White's role in Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, and hopes to have it with the UFC CEO at the pre-fight press conference.
"I think he'll be there," Hearn told iFL TV. "I'm certain he'll be there. I hope he's at the press conference. I got a lot to say with him on an open forum; I think it'll be a great back-and-forth debate."
Fury and Joshua are scheduled to meet on 11 December at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. White has repeatedly said he is involved alongside Turki Alalshikh, while Hearn maintains White cannot take part in promoting or producing the event without his approval.
White says the UFC production team will handle the broadcast, a role Hearn says is barred under the existing contractual arrangements. Hearn has said Sela confirmed in writing that White and the UFC are not doing the production, and that the production company Whisper has a contract to produce the fight on Netflix (read more).
