Eddie Hearn Identifies TKO Group Holdings as Barrier in Fury-Joshua Negotiations

Promoter Eddie Hearn has publicly identified TKO Group Holdings as a primary obstacle in the ongoing negotiations for a blockbuster heavyweight boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Speaking on the current state of the talks, Hearn pointed to the influence of the combat sports conglomerate as a significant factor in the current deadlock.

While the prospect of a Fury vs. Joshua showdown has long been considered one of the most lucrative matchups in combat sports history, the path to finalizing the bout remains obstructed. Hearn’s comments suggest that corporate maneuvering involving TKO Group Holdings—the parent company of the UFC and WWE—has complicated the commercial logistics required to bridge the gap between the two British stars.

Representatives for TKO Group Holdings have not immediately issued a formal response to Hearn’s claims. The situation remains fluid, as fans and stakeholders continue to await clarity on whether the necessary business alignments can be reached to bring the long-discussed fight to fruition. For now, the impasse persists, leaving the future of the potential mega-event in a state of professional limbo.
