The highly anticipated heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is reportedly in jeopardy, with Fury himself claiming that Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, are attempting to withdraw from the December 11th bout. Fury has publicly blamed Hearn's ego and disputes over promotional involvement for the potential collapse of the fight, which was officially announced just days prior.
Adding to the weekend's boxing action, British heavyweight Johnny Fisher secured a majority decision victory over Michael Pirotton in his debut under the Zuffa Boxing banner at the Copper Box Arena. Despite Fisher's win, UFC and Zuffa Boxing promoter Dana White expressed frustration in London, indicating his involvement in the Fury-Joshua fight and lamenting the uncertainty surrounding its future.
