Eddie Hearn claims Dana White is trying to change the terms of Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua when he never should\u2019ve been involved to begin with.<\/p>\n

Hearn and White have been at odds since the launch of Zuffa Boxing, and things have gotten ugly with the Fury vs. Joshua negotiations. Joshua has agreed to terms for the fight that state England will be the location. Fury and his team reportedly wants the bout to take place inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, which Joshua and his camp are refusing since that wasn\u2019t part of the agreement.<\/p>\n

Speaking to iFL TV<\/a>, Hearn put the blame on White for trying to get his hands in negotiations<\/a> when he shouldn\u2019t be involved (via MMAFighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cDana White says we are the only one upsetting this fight,\u201d Hearn told iFL TV. \u201cDana White has tried to get involved in a fight that he has nothing to do with and to get Sela to break their contract, scrap a British fight, and bring it to America. He thinks that he\u2019s not causing a problem in this fight? All we have ever done is said, \u2018We\u2019ve signed our contract. Just honor the contract that we\u2019ve signed.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve never done anything else and what he can\u2019t get his head around is that Anthony Joshua won\u2019t take a little bit more money to do the fight in America, because he cares. He cares where the fight is. He cares about British boxing, and he cares about the contract that he signed. And Dana White thinks you can throw a little bit of money at someone and they\u2019ll dance to your f*cking tune. Well, guess what? Not on A.J.\u2019s watch. That is why, unfortunately for these people, the fight will not be taking place in America, because Anthony Joshua is not a sellout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearn claimed that White has attempted to speak with Joshua behind his back on more than one occasion. It\u2019s gotten to the point where the Matchroom Boxing head honcho has threatened legal action.<\/p>\n

Do you think Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua will forever be a \u201cwhat if\u201d fight, or do you think the two sides will eventually come to an agreement? Sound off in the comments below.<\/p>\n
