Trainer Robert Garcia believes the ongoing debate over Tyson Fury potentially working with Dana White is overblown, and insists boxing fans only care about one thing: getting the biggest fights.
Fury addressed the growing talk about his future at the UFC’s White House event this past weekend, where he hinted that a big announcement involving Dana White could be on the horizon. The heavyweight star has been heavily linked to White’s growing boxing operation, even as his long-rumored showdown with Anthony Joshua remains unresolved.
Asked by Chris Algieri if Fury’s promotional situation could complicate the long-awaited Joshua fight, Garcia dismissed the idea.
“Fans don’t care. Fans don’t care. As long as the fight happens, I don’t care,” Garcia told Probox TV. “Anthony Joshua was obviously very, very loyal and worked very well with Eddie and Matchroom, and that’s perfect. I love that with fighters too. But Tyson Fury, if he says Turki Alalshikh is his promoter, that fight can still happen.”
Garcia pointed out that the various parties involved in boxing’s biggest events have worked together before, making the promotional feud less significant than some have suggested.
“It’s not like they’ve never worked together. They continue to work together. So this is a fight that has no business with the promoters. It’s not like the promoters are going to prevent the fight or anything like that. The promoters can make it happen. Turki can make it happen.”
The Mexican coach’s bigger concern was that Fury and Joshua would continue to take interim bouts instead of finally meeting in the ring.
Garcia said earlier in the discussion that neither heavyweight needed another stay-at-home contest and warned that the longer they wait, the more likely injuries, losses or age will diminish the appeal of one of boxing’s most anticipated bouts.
For Robert, Dana White’s possible involvement is secondary. If Fury-Joshua can still be delivered, boxing fans probably won’t care whose logo appears on the promotional material.
