What happened: Eddie Hearn says Dana White has no promotional or production role in Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua. Hearn says contracts exclude White and identifies Whisper as the production company for the Netflix broadcast. White continues to assert involvement and has promoted the bout on his social channels.

Why it matters: Fury-Joshua is a long-awaited heavyweight pairing with competing interests as White expands into boxing with Zuffa Boxing. Control of promotion and production affects contracts, broadcast execution and revenue splits. Keeping the Dec. 11 event in Cardiff protects the U.K. home gate after a push to stage it in America.

What to watch: Production credits and promotion terms should clarify ahead of Dec. 11, with Cardiff locked as the venue.
