Dana White’s new boxing promotion may deliver one of the most anticipated fights in modern history. Zuffa Boxing has hosted only two events, but White brings years of experience staging major combat sports events and is widely regarded as one of the top promoters in the world. Reports suggest he now plans to put that reputation to the ultimate test with a historic showdown that fans have awaited for over a decade. White has promised to “rock the industry,” and insiders indicate he may soon fulfill that bold claim.
Dana White reportedly lining up Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua on Netflix
BoxingScene reports that Dana White could finally make the long-awaited heavyweight showdown a reality. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been rivals throughout their careers but have never faced each other professionally, aside from sparring in their youth. Sources say Zuffa Boxing intends to stage the fight, with Netflix likely to broadcast the event. The streaming platform will reportedly feature Fury’s comeback fight in April against Arslanbek Makhmudov as a lead-in to the main event.
Joshua’s career paused after a tragic car accident last year that killed two of his close friends and left him with injuries. He has returned to training and released a detailed video reflecting on the loss. Fury has not fought since losing two undisputed title fights to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia by decision. Joshua last competed days before his accident, knocking out Jake Paul in a Netflix-backed event.
Dana White hints at major announcements after Zuffa Boxing 2
After Zuffa Boxing’s second event, White teased major news during the post-fight press conference. “We have some pretty crazy announcements coming over the next few weeks,” he said without revealing dates or fighter names. He also hinted at expansion and new deals, adding, “There’s a lot going on to rock the industry – new signings, more deals, new territories. By the end of 2026, it’s going to be impressive.”
White has a proven track record of promoting boxing shows. He worked with Tom Loeffler on Callum Walsh events, including a Dublin homecoming in 2024. Last year, he led the promotion for Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford. His experience could now culminate in one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time.
