At least he can save face when backing out.

'For the fans' Warren is as bad.

Isn't Tyson the one who signed to box anywhere?

If the fight is going to happen, where do you want it to happen Mickey?

Do you really believe that? Why not Ruiz 2 over here for the fans? Why not exercise the Dubois rematch clause to put ot right for the fans? Why allow Prenga to be on PPV, a guy who wouldn't beat Johnny Fisher?

No, I think he does, I just don't get why it's a deal breaker when his last two fights have been in Saudi and America. I don't think Fury cares where it is. I think it gives team AJ time to think, which is very wise.

But you think he's backing out if he sticks to his guns/contract?

Course it's true , Fury/Joshua is one of the biggest all British fights of all time, you don't need me to tell you why Andy Ruiz doesn't compare and tbh Dubois doesn't come close either, as I've mentioned it doesn't really bother me either way because I won't be going but it doesn't take Einstein to work out why the Brits would be furious if it happens in America because of Netflix

Its like Eubank/Benn happening outside England, people would be livid but nobody's caring too much if they fought Wharton or Watson abroad, Fury/AJ is a one off, well passed it's sell by date but like Mayweather/Pacquiao it's still one of the biggest in boxing and it was always expected to happen in England but you know all this, your a knowledgeable poster Mickey but I don't know why you continuesly pander to Fury's behaviour, if AJ was doing this and Fury was trying to do the right thing for UK fans, nobody on here believes you'd be justifying Joshua's behaviour

When Fury was legally bound by a court to face Wilder for a third time, everyone on here screamed duck! The only people to blame in this are Turki and Netflix for not doing their deals properly. Do. You think both would take half the money to do it on a Queensbury, Goldstar and Matchroom show? Would they fuk.

You must see how Fury is a bit of a shill for Turki though?

He’s always banging on about him, because he knows it translates to millions.

At least AJ has his own mind and will say no to Turki. Look at that spectacle ringside not long after AJ’s accident when they were both goading him to get in the ring.

But Fury isn’t doing anything! He's ready to fight in the UK.

Tyson has always been about the money. The getting in the ring thing was a funny one. Why was AJ even there if it wasn’t to announce the fight? He doesn’t usually go to boxing shows unless he has to.

Do you think Joshua changed his mind because he was intimidated by Fury's performance against Makhmudov?

Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑17 Aug 2026, 05:19 Fury-Joshua saga frustrates Dana White

Dana White is lookin' for a fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

But getting the deal across the finish line has been a knock-down-drag-out war on the negotiations table.

Fury and Joshua have finally agreed to meet in a "Battle of Britain" that would feature former heavyweight champions from the United Kingdom.

Now, the only question that remains is exactly where and when the fight will take place.

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn is insisting the fight should take place in the UK, as they've originally signed on for, he's stated.

White, the frontman for Zuffa Boxing and UFC, as well as other involved parties, have had other ideas, including bringing the mega fight to the United States.

"Listen, this saga, we'll see how this whole thing plays out. I mean they either want to fight, or they don't. I don't know," White said on Saturday during the UFC 330 post-fight press conference in Philadelphia.
"We did the television and venue deal."

When White was asked if the fight will take place in New York, he said:

"We'll see. Listen, to make a fight, two guys have to want to fight – period, end of story. Contracts, and this and that – there's a lot of money for grabs in this fight. Do you want to fight? or not? I don't give a s*** one way or the other. It's up to them."
White was then asked if he'd be happy to stage the fight in the UK.

"Yeah, listen, I don't give a s***. The fight should have happened 10 years ago. Is it going to happen now? We'll see."
Last month, White blasted the tune-up concept that preceded the planned pitting after Joshua (30-4, 26 KOs) survived a serious scare against Kristian Prenga, getting knocked down twice in the first round before rebounding to knock out Prenga in the second round in Saudi Arabia.

On the previous day, Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) stopped Mariusz Wach in seven rounds in Thailand.

It is true, but if you have a signed contract saying A, you'd be reluctant to go with B.
