Simon Jordan discussed the situation and questioned whether White’s involvement would actually help get the fight over the line.
“Do we think Dana popping his gums is helping the fight that still seems a bit up in the air?” Jordan said on talkSPORT Boxing while debating Fury’s future and the growing influence of Zuffa Boxing.
The broadcaster suggested the situation had become increasingly complicated due to the various parties already involved in the fight, including Riyadh Season, Queensberry and TKO.
Jordan believes the biggest concern is not whether Fury and Joshua want the fight, but whether the business interests around it could delay or derail progress.
“My concern is that politics is getting in the way of this fight,” Simon said.
Despite concerns that Fury could move away from longtime promoter Frank Warren, Jordan argued that existing contractual and commercial arrangements could prevent a clean break.
He suggested Queensberry could still be involved behind the scenes, especially if Fury takes a tune-up bout before facing Joshua.
Others on the panel raised questions about how a move to Zuffa might affect existing deals and where the fight would ultimately take place. There has already been speculation that a Fury-Joshua fight could be staged outside the UK despite previous suggestions that Wembley Stadium was the preferred destination.
While Jordan acknowledged the growing uncertainty, he stopped short of predicting the fight would collapse.
“There’s too much money in this fight not to happen,” Jordan said.
Fury is expected to return later this summer in a warm-up bout before taking on Joshua, who remains one of the biggest draws in world boxing.
