Dana White has responded Max Kellerman’s interesting comments about his involvement in the promotion in the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight.

White’s presence has put the long-awaited heavyweight boxing match in jeopardy. Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn has said that per the terms of the initial agreement, White can’t be involved in any capacity. Turki Alalshikh has been pushing for White’s involvement, and it has caused problems.

During a recent Zuffa Boxing broadcast headlined by Johnny Fisher vs. Michael Pirotton, Kellerman was on commentary duty and he made quite the claim about how White would contribute to the build for Fury vs. Joshua (via MMAFighting).

“Dana White’s involvement in the fight, so people know, is purely in assisting Turki Alalshikh, who has been the engine behind just about every big fight in boxing over the last handful of years,” Kellerman said. “He’s assisting Turki in a personal capacity, not as a promoter.”

White responded to Kellerman’s comments when speaking to media members, and he expressed confusion over what was said.

“I don’t know where that came from,” White said. ‘That was weird. We’re promoting the fight right now. I’ve said 150,000 times I don’t know if I’ve ever known anybody who’s more full of f*cking shit than Eddie Hearn.“

This isn’t the first hiccup in trying to get Fury vs. Joshua to come to fruition. Hearn also fought against the bout taking place in America, and he got his wish as the bout is being planned for Cardiff on Dec. 11.

What do you make of the political games between Dana White and Eddie Hearn that have impacted the build to Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua? Is one side more in the right than the other, or do both share blame for the tomfoolery? Share your thoughts on the current situation in the comments below.”
