We have all always known that Tom Brown is not running the show at PBC, and we know that events backed by Turki Alalshikh are under his control, no matter who is officially listed among the various and sundry promoters of record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.badlefthook.com\/boxing-news\/116545\/tyson-fury-rumored-to-be-aligning-with-zuffa-boxing-news-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fury has been linked with Zuffa Boxing<\/a> after attending the UFC show at the White House on Sunday evening. Whether he\u2019s ever officially part of Zuffa Boxing or not, it\u2019s quite possible \u2014 seems likely, even \u2014 that Zuffa will be the promoters of record for Fury vs Joshua. White has said he will be the promoter for the fight. Frank Warren and Matchroom\u2019s Eddie Hearn have disputed this, but everyone has basically fallen in line when Alalshikh is the one paying to make a fight happen, which is reasonable, because \u2014 well, he\u2019s paying to make it happen. What he wants goes, in short.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Fury is just acknowledging who\u2019s really calling the shots, aside from himself. It\u2019s not Frank Warren, who has promoted him for years, and it\u2019s not going to be Dana White, either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It is perhaps worth noting that Fury saying something is in effect \u201cuntil he retires\u201d probably doesn\u2019t mean as much as it seems on the surface, given the amount of times he has already retired. At 38 in August, he may have another two or three retirements left in him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury\u2019s promotional status and the status of his proposed fight with Anthony Joshua is up in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-641317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
