Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are finally, *finally* set to settle years of British boxing rivalry in the ring. Mark your calendars, because this heavyweight clash is locked in for December 11 in Cardiff. But before the gloves are even laced up, the “war of words” kicked off big time at today’s official press conference. Turns out, the drama isn’t just between the fighters.
The Fight Is On, But The Real Drama’s Elsewhere
Fans have been waiting forever for this one, and the Dec. 11 date in Cardiff means we’re getting the epic heavyweight showdown we deserve. Joshua and Fury are going to bring it. But if you were tuned into the press conference for some early jabs between the titans, you might have been looking in the wrong place for the immediate fireworks. The real tension emerged behind the scenes.
“Absolutely Not”: The Dana White Question Just Got Real
It’s been a huge talking point leading up to this mega fight: will UFC boss Dana White be involved in promoting it? Well, if you thought that was a possibility, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn shut it down cold today. When the question came up, Hearn’s answer was a definitive “absolutely not.” That’s the kind of direct shot that sets the stage for months of anticipation. This isn’t just about two guys fighting; it’s about the entire boxing world, and the promoters are already in a battle of their own.
The Dec. 11 showdown is still a few months away, but if today’s press conference is any indication, the “war of words” between these camps is only kicking off. You gotta wonder what else is going to pop off before we even get to Cardiff.
