Two days after the announcement British boxing had waited a decade for, Dana White - the UFC president and Zuffa Boxing chief named as one of the figures promoting Tyson Fury against Anthony Joshua - was asked whether the fight would actually happen.

White was speaking at London's Copper Box on Saturday, where British heavyweight Johnny Fisher beat Michael Pirotton on his Zuffa Boxing debut. But for much of the media in attendance another heavyweight fight dominated the evening.

Asked whether Wednesday's scheduled Fury-Joshua news conference in London would take place, White added: "I have no idea."
