Anthony Joshua"},"content":{"rendered":"

UFC President Dana White<\/a> dropped a boxing bombshell during a recent interview with content creator Nina Drama. He stated Zuffa Boxing, his new promotion, will handle the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua matchup<\/a> set for later this year. The talk came ahead of UFC 328, tomorrow\u2019s event at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, headlined by Khamzat Chimaev<\/a> against Sean Strickland.<\/p>\n

Dana White: Zuffa Boxing to Promote Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua<\/p>\n

White\u2019s push into boxing ramps up with Zuffa. Reports from February tied the promotion to Fury\u2019s April 11 comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov on Netflix. That fight served as a warmup, with sources pointing to Fury-Joshua as the main target. White teased big moves post-Zuffa Boxing 2, and now this claim via Drama\u2019s stream confirms his role.<\/p>\n

The Fury-Joshua saga dates back years, filled with failed talks and side quests. Fury holds wins over Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora; Joshua beat Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou<\/a> before setbacks against Oleksandr Usyk. Recent reports say both signed for Q4 2026, likely November, with Netflix broadcasting. Eddie Hearn, Joshua<\/a>\u2018s long-time promoter, confirmed the timeline after Joshua\u2019s planned July return bout.<\/p>\n

Wembley Stadium leads venue chatter, though nothing\u2019s locked. Hearn\u2019s Matchroom and Fury\u2019s camp have steered past efforts, but White\u2019s entry via Zuffa shakes things up. Joshua once turned down White\u2019s signing pitch, staying loyal to Hearn. Zuffa already grabbed Conor Benn from Hearn for one fight.<\/p>\n

Fans lit up social media after Drama\u2019s clip spread. The post from ChampRDS on X racked up views, with replies mixing hype and doubt. White\u2019s history in boxing bids, like a $500 million Joshua offer years back, adds weight. No official date or full contracts surfaced yet, but Q4 aligns with past leaks.<\/p>\n

Boxing circles watch close. Fury eyes legacy after Usyk losses; Joshua rebuilds post-road accident recovery. White\u2019s involvement could mean UFC-style production and purses. If it lands, expect stadium sellouts and streaming records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC President Dana White dropped a boxing bombshell during a recent interview with content creator Nina Drama.
