UFC boss Dana White has questioned whether Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury want to fight.

Joshua and Fury signed contracts to fight each other earlier this year but no date or venue has been announced. Netflix, who are set to broadcast the fight, want to stage it in New York on November 20, but Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn want the fight held in the UK, as their contract states.

White, meanwhile, has long claimed to know where the fight will be held and insists he was involved in setting up the fight in the first place. But he know doubts whether Fury and Joshua are fully invested.

Listen, this f***ing saga, well see how this whole thing plays out, he said. They either want to fight or they dont. I dont know. To make a fight, two guys have to want to fight. Period. End of story. Contracts and this and that? Theres a lot of f***ing money for grabs in this fight. Do you want to fight or do you not want to fight?

"I dont give a s*** one way or the other. Id be happy [if the fight was in the UK]. I dont give a s***. Do you want to fight or do you not want to fight? The fight should have happened 10 years ago, is it going to happen now? Well see."

Fury has made no comment as to where he wants the fight to be held with the ball now in Joshua's court. Fury's promoter Frank Warren, however, admitted the fight could still fall apart.

Tyson Fury has his agreement, which states something different," he told Box Nation. "The fight will happen. Ive heard what Eddie has said. Theyre either going to agree to it or not. If they dont agree to it then the fight wont happen.

Tyson signed for the fight back in January; the fight was supposed to happen in September. They were supposed to have a warm-up fight in September; unfortunately there was that terrible, tragic accident that AJ was in where he lost two of his best friends, and that held everything up, but the fight I understand, will be November, and the venue will be announced in due course.
