Dana
\nWhite<\/a> was left bemused by Max Kellerman\u2019s explanation of his
\nrole in the Tyson
\nFury<\/a>–Anthony
\nJoshua<\/a> saga.<\/p>\n

Fury and Joshua are scheduled to meet Dec. 11 at Principality
\nStadium in Cardiff, Wales, with the bout set to stream on Netflix.
\nThe matchup was announced by the streaming juggernaut as a
\ncollaboration between Turki Alalshikh and White\u2019s Zuffa Boxing.
\nHowever, Joshua\u2019s camp and Eddie Hearn seemingly aren\u2019t on
\nboard.<\/p>\n

Dana White disputes Max Kellerman\u2019s description of his role in
\nTyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua<\/h2>\n

Kellerman claimed during the Zuffa Boxing 11 broadcast that White\u2019s
\ninvolvement isn\u2019t as a promoter but rather in an assisting role to
\nAlalshikh.<\/p>\n

\u201cDana White\u2019s involvement in the fight, so people know, is purely
\nin assisting Turki Alalshikh, who has been the engine behind just
\nabout every big fight in boxing over the last handful of years,\u201d
\nKellerman said. \u201cHe\u2019s assisting Turki in a personal capacity, not
\nas a promoter.\u201d<\/p>\n

White was subsequently asked about Kellerman\u2019s comments, and the
\n
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> CEO revealed that he had no idea
\nwhat the analyst-commentator was talking about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know where that came from,\u201d White said. \u201cThat was weird.
\nWe\u2019re promoting the fight right now. I\u2019ve said 150,000 times I
\ndon\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever known anybody who\u2019s more full of f*cking
\nshit than Eddie Hearn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearn has previously emphasized that White should not be involved
\nin the fight, while Netflix\u2019s announcement identified the UFC boss
\nas a key part of the event. A press conference for Fury-Joshua is
\nexpected to take place Wednesday, Sept. 30, although White wasn\u2019t
\nforthcoming about whether he plans to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I\u2019ll leave that as a surprise,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n
