The upcoming heavyweight fight between British boxers Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is facing a real threat to its holding, only a few days after the official announcement of its organization on the eleventh of next December at the “Principality” Stadium in the Welsh city of Cardiff.
These developments came against the backdrop of a video clip published by Tyson Fury through his official accounts on social media platforms, in which he accused his rival Joshua and his sports director Eddie Hearn of trying to back away from the confrontation, warning that the ongoing organizational disputes were casting a heavy shadow over the fate of the fight on its scheduled date.
In the same context, Dana White, President of the Mixed Martial Arts Organization (UFC) and Zova Boxing, increased the amount of mystery surrounding the event. He told reporters in the British capital, London, that he did not have confirmed information about whether the confrontation would go ahead as planned, while at the same time expressing doubts about the possibility of holding the anticipated promotional press conference during the next few days.
It is noteworthy that the preparations for this fight had repeatedly faltered over the past months due to a series of obstacles, the most prominent of which was the widespread controversy over the venue for hosting it, before it was finally settled on Cardiff Stadium, at a time when no official statements have yet been issued indicating the definitive cancellation of the event.
