Tyson Fury wants Dana White to be involved in his upcoming fight with Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n
For the past several months, the long-awaited boxing match between Fury and Joshua has been up in the air, embroiled in a contract dispute about where the bout would take place. Earlier this week, the bout was finally made official, with Fury and Joshua set to square off on Dec. 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. But for Fury, he didn\u2019t care if the bout was on the moon; he just wanted to fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, it was all up to Turki and Netflix and wherever they wanted to put it. That\u2019s all there is to it, really,\u201d Fury told FurociTV<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s not really about Eddie Hearn. It\u2019s not about Frank Warren. It\u2019s not about Dana White. It\u2019s not about Matchroom. It\u2019s not about Sky. It\u2019s not about anybody. It\u2019s about me and Joshua. All the promoters who are saying, \u2018We\u2019ve done this, we\u2019ve done that, I helped get it there,\u2019 maybe they should get in the ring and fight each other on the night then? And we\u2019ll just be spectators and take our percentage out of their money. \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not about them. It\u2019s about us. It\u2019s not their time. It\u2019s our time. I\u2019m a gypsy; every f*cking country in the world is mine. Whatever country in the world I go to, I own it. That\u2019s mine. What will be different in December, fighting in the U.K.? It\u2019ll be f*cking pissing down, cold and wet and rainy. Cardiff. It\u2019ll be a good night out.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care. I\u2019ve said all along, I don\u2019t give a f*ck if it\u2019s in Rome, Barbados, Derby, Newcastle. I don\u2019t care where it is. It wouldn\u2019t matter \u2014 if it was in space, I\u2019d go there. Prizefighter, that\u2019s what I do. \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cI fight for the biggest paycheck there is. If I could get more money by going to China, I\u2019d go to China. I\u2019m not someone who\u2019s ever going to say, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m only in it for the thrill of the sport, and the hard fights, and the knockouts!\u2019 F*ck, I\u2019m here to get paid and get laid, as always. I want the biggest truckload of money. Wherever that\u2019s coming from, I\u2019ll do it. And if it\u2019s not there, then I don\u2019t. I\u2019m not cheap. I\u2019m a very expensive escort. I\u2019m a hired escort, literally. Whoever\u2019s got the money, I go. Knickers come down, every single time, but it\u2019s expensive. I\u2019m not cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, just because the bout is announced, that doesn\u2019t mean things are set in stone. After the announcement was made, Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, quickly responded to the revelation that UFC CEO Dana White would be involved in the promotion. Throughout this ordeal, Hearn has been adamant that White is not involved in the bout, and the Matchroom CEO doubled down on that, insisting that White won\u2019t play a hand in the match<\/a>, but Fury disagrees.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Joshua\u2019s contract, apparently, it says that they can\u2019t \u2014 they couldn\u2019t, TKO and Dana, couldn\u2019t be involved,\u201d Fury said. \u201cThat was in mine, but I took it out. I took it out so he could be involved. Fuck \u2018em. Yeah, I want him involved. Two baldies together. I like Dana. Good businessman and a good guy. A man who come from nothing to being a billionaire. And look what he done with the UFC. Unbelievable. I think he can do really well in boxing. Think he drives Eddie Hearn out, feeds him to the fishes.\u201d<\/p>\n
