Tyson Fury Signals Major Partnership with Dana White Ahead of Anthony Joshua Bout

A fresh twist has emerged ahead of the long‑anticipated clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

After years of speculation, the two champions are poised to finally meet later this year — provided that each navigates the obstacles in the interim.

Joshua will compete in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on July 25 against Kristian Prenga, a bout scheduled three months after Fury returned from a 16‑month retirement with a unanimous decision over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April.

Initially, the plan was for Fury to sit out and await the Joshua fight, but he has opted to stay active, with a match originally set for a Frank Warren event in Dublin in August.

That schedule may shift, after “The Gypsy King” appeared at UFC’s White House event on Sunday to announce his collaboration with Dana White.

“I’ll let Dana do the speaking and do the announcement. It’s a massive announcement. I’m very excited for this fight [with Joshua]. It’s been over a decade in the making. For whatever reason it hasn’t happened.”

“There’s a potential fight in August and maybe at the end of the year it happens [with Joshua]. I’m looking forward to fighting whoever they put in front of me and getting back to what I do best, winning.”

UFC CEO White has entered the boxing world this year with his Zuffa Boxing promotion and has been involved in numerous back‑and‑forths with fellow promoters, notably Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn.

Last month, White announced that he would promote the Fury‑Joshua event, a claim denied by Hearn and Queensberry’s Frank Warren, but Fury’s surprise declaration is sure to intensify the rivalry.
