Fury addressed the growing speak about his future on the UFC’s White House event over the weekend, where he hinted that a significant announcement involving Dana White might be on the horizon. The heavyweight star has been heavily linked to White’s expanding boxing operation, whilst his long-discussed showdown with Anthony Joshua stays unresolved.
Asked by Chris Algieri whether Fury’s promotional situation could complicate the long-awaited Joshua fight, Garcia dismissed the concept.
“Fans don’t care. Fans don’t care. So long as the fight happens, I don’t care,” Garcia said to Probox TV. “Anthony Joshua obviously has been very, very loyal and has worked thoroughly with Eddie and Matchroom, and that’s perfect. I like that with fighters also. But Tyson Fury, if he says Turki Alalshikh is his promoter, that fight can still occur.”
Garcia identified that the assorted parties involved in boxing’s biggest events have worked together before, making the promotional wrangling less important than some have suggested.
“It’s not like they’ve never worked together. They proceed working together. So it’s a fight that has no business with the promoters. It’s not just like the promoters are going to forestall the fight or anything like that. The promoters could make it occur. Turki could make it occur.”
The Mexican trainer’s greater concern was that Fury and Joshua proceed taking interim bouts as a substitute of finally meeting within the ring.
Garcia previously stated throughout the discussion that neither heavyweight needs one other stay-busy contest and warned that the longer they wait, the greater the possibility that injuries, defeats or age diminish the appeal of certainly one of boxing’s most anticipated matchups.
For Robert, Dana White’s possible involvement is secondary. If Fury-Joshua can still be delivered, boxing fans are unlikely to care whose logo appears on the promotional material.
