Hearn’s Coffee Mug Fails to Quiet Dispute Over Dana White’s Role in Fury–Joshua Listing
Eddie Hearn posted a tongue-in-cheek coffee-mug image as a public disagreement over Dana White’s involvement in a Netflix-listed Tyson Fury–Anthony Joshua show continues, with conflicting claims about who will run the December 11 Cardiff listing.
A light-hearted social post from promoter Eddie Hearn has done little to settle a growing disagreement over the proposed Tyson Fury–Anthony Joshua listing that appears on Netflix. Boxing News 24 reports Hearn shared a photo of a mug reading, “I got 99 problems but closing deals ain’t one,” while Fury has suggested the fight could be called off amid a dispute over Dana White’s role. Netflix’s listing names a December 11 Cardiff show and includes White alongside The Ring in its promotional material, an arrangement Hearn says conflicts with the agreement he holds for Joshua.
Hearn’s social post contrasts with public arguments over promotion
Netflix listing names Dana White and The Ring; Hearn objects
According to Boxing News 24, Netflix’s Tudum page lists a December 11 Cardiff event and, in its promotional material, names Dana White alongside The Ring. Hearn has told reporters that White’s inclusion contradicts the contractual arrangement he holds for Anthony Joshua. The report notes that Hearn represents one of the fighters, while the money and broadcast appear to come from outside Matchroom, creating a clash over who controls promotion and on-screen roles.
Fury accuses Hearn and Joshua of pulling out; Joshua has not publicly commented
Boxing News 24 records that Tyson Fury has accused Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua of attempting to walk away from the deal. The publication emphasises that these are Fury’s claims, not established facts about Joshua’s intentions. The report adds that Joshua has not publicly echoed Hearn’s objections to White’s role, and that Frank Warren has largely stayed out of the public centre of the dispute. That contrast — one side openly working with White while Hearn explains why White should not be involved — has left the situation appearing unresolved in public.
Fans and finances hang in the balance if the listing collapses
Boxing News 24 suggests the potential consequences if the Fury–Joshua listing falls apart. The report says Hearn would retain his business interests, and that Joshua would still receive money, but that the fighter would also forfeit a significant payday, and British fans would lose a fight many have waited more than a decade to see. The piece concludes that while Hearn’s mug implies deals are easy to close, supporters might be satisfied simply to see the December 11 entry survive until the date shown on Netflix.
