The highly anticipated fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, scheduled for December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, has been put in doubt again due to a clash between promoters.
The fight between the two Brits was made official earlier this week, after years of failed negotiations. The fight will be broadcast on Netflix and has been confirmed as a collaboration between The Ring, run by Turki Alalshikh, and UFC president Dana White.
However, it is White's involvement that seems to have become an obstacle to the realization of the fight.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has been in a public spat with White in recent months and has said the UFC boss's involvement in organising the fight is in breach of their contract.
Fury has accused Joshua and Hearn of trying to back out of the fight.
"Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn are trying to pull out of this fight. They are saying they will not fight again," Fury wrote on Instagram.
According to him, the main problem is related to Hearn's attitude towards Dana White.

"It's mostly about Eddie Hearn's ego. He's making up a million different things and threatening not to fight," Fury said.
He added that Turki Alalshikh is already looking for alternatives for the match.
"Eddie Hearn has jeopardized the biggest fight in boxing history," Fury wrote.
