Fury thanks White for pushing Joshua fight over the line

Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury has credited UFC CEO Dana White with helping move the proposed Anthony Joshua fight forward, only one day after publicly suggesting he was ready to abandon the matchup. Fury said White helped with the Netflix deal and thanked him for pushing negotiations over the line.

The shift follows Fury’s declaration that the Joshua fight was dead and he would target other champions. Despite the renewed optimism, neither a date nor a location has been officially confirmed.

Fury’s thanks went well beyond the brief reference to the Netflix agreement. He praised White’s work, criticized Eddie Hearn, and invited the UFC executive to the eventual press conference.

The key distinction is between Fury’s claim and a formal announcement. No promoter, commission, broadcaster or venue has released a finalized date and location. Wembley Stadium in London and Madison Square Garden in New York have both featured in the public argument.
