Eddie Hearn Clarifies Production Details for Fury vs. Joshua

A discrepancy has emerged regarding the organizational involvement in the upcoming boxing mega-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. While UFC CEO Dana White has maintained that he is involved in the event's proceedings, Anthony Joshua's manager, Eddie Hearn, continues to publicly dispute those claims.

According to Hearn, the production responsibilities for the bout have been assigned to the Saudi-based production company, Whisper, rather than any entity connected to the UFC. Hearn’s comments represent the latest development in a confusing promotional narrative that has seen conflicting messages from both camps. Despite White’s persistent insistence that he is playing a role in the promotion or production of the fight, Hearn maintains that the infrastructure is being handled elsewhere, specifically pointing to Whisper as the primary production partner.

This ongoing confusion regarding the logistical backing of the Fury-Joshua bout remains a point of contention between the two parties. As the fight approaches, the lack of a unified statement on the production structure continues to fuel speculation about the level of influence, if any, the UFC head has in the boxing event. For now, Hearn’s firm stance on Whisper's role serves as the most specific detail provided regarding the event's organizational reality, contradicting White's repeated assertions of involvement.
