Dana White insisted he already knows where the long-awaited heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will take place but repeatedly refused to reveal the location during Saturday night’s UFC 329 post-fight press conference.
The Zuffa Boxing head was asked several times about the status of the blockbuster fight after recent comments from Turki Alalshikh indicated that a final decision on the venue had not yet been made. Instead of providing details, White offered only a brief response.
“Yeah, as soon as… Listen, if I was ready to go with it, I’d tell you. Again, in Bournemouth, I said I know where the fight is,” said White.
When a reporter immediately asked where the fight would be held, White smiled and replied simply:
“I know.”
The questioning continued after reporters noted that Alalshikh recently said he was still discussing potential venues, including ongoing talks with London’s mayor over the possibility of staging the event at Wembley Stadium in the early hours of the morning to accommodate a global audience. White distanced himself from those discussions.
“I don’t know anything about that. Listen, I have my own plans. I know what I’m doing. I have nothing to say to the mayor of London, negatively or positively. Every event I’ve ever done in London has been incredible. I’m not in the middle of that. I’m in my own little world over here, and I do my thing,” said Dana.
His answers did little to settle the speculation.
Another reporter pointed out that White’s comments did not appear to align with Alalshikh’s public statements, noting that the Saudi boxing chief has repeatedly maintained that no venue has been finalized. White declined to address the apparent discrepancy before moving on to the next question.
White has consistently maintained that he knows key details surrounding Fury-Joshua while declining to disclose them publicly. His latest remarks came just hours after UFC 329, leaving boxing fans with the same unanswered question: if the venue has already been decided, why hasn’t it been announced?
