Eddie Hearn open to Dana White involvement in Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua on one condition

Wait 5 sec.

Eddie Hearn is now open to having Dana White involved with Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.But after a lengthy behind-the-scenes dispute with the Zuffa Boxing kingpin and organisers, he wants conditions to be laid out to ensure White doesn’t ‘overstep the mark’.Hearn has performed a U-turn, and is open to letting White in on the mega eventGettyWhite failed to attend the launch press conference to promote the all-British heavyweight blockbuster set for December 11 in Cardiff.Hearn had maintained White would not be a promoter of the clash throughout negotiations, with Joshua telling talkSPORT he’d be willing to pull the plug on the fight.The official paperwork now reflects the American’s absence, with tensions resolved.White has vehemently maintained he will be involved in the promotion of the event, but a potential meeting could take place to discuss their issues.Hearn has now suggested he is open to White attending the fight week media events, and playing a changed role in the mega-money event.And he believes there is a deal to be done, but providing their original contracted agreement isn’t breached.“He will only be there if we allow him to be there,” Hearn told Ariel Helwani.“I don’t have an issue with Dana White being at the press conference. I would actually love to get him up there. But you’ve got to let us go at it.“If you think you’ve seen a car crash so far, wait till you see when I get in front of him at a press conference.“They could potentially be involved, I’m happy to talk, but you can’t just presume that we’re going to allow you to breach an agreement, walk all over us and talk the way you’ve spoken. Joshua has even vowed to talkSPORT to step away from the bout unless Hearn is happy with White’s involvementGetty“Everyone will always tell you about me: he’s a man of principles. But there’s always a deal to be done. We can work it out, and we can all win, but not like this.”White and Hearn’s back and forth could help build another compelling narrative for Fury and Joshua’s clash, which already promises to be arguably the biggest in British boxing history.White’s latest comments about Fury vs JoshuaWith the event now three months out, Hearn believes that the concrete plan for Fury vs Joshua is now in place.But White maintains he is aiding the production of the show with Saudi chief Turki Alalashikh.And he was once again infuriated with the line of questioning surrounding the event, insisting nothing has changed.He said: “I mean, have I been wrong in anything that I’ve said? Nothing. I am producing the fight.
