Tyson Fury has stated that a row between two boxing promoters might jeopardise the anticipated fight between him and Anthony Joshua.
The British boxers will face off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 11 December.
The fight was confirmed last week to be a collaboration between Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh's The Ring and UFC president Dana White.
However, a feud between White and Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn might stand in the way of the bout.
"Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn are trying to pull out of this fight. They're saying they're not going to fight now," Fury posted on Instagram.
"It's mainly to do with Eddie Hearn's ego. He's making up a million different things and threatening we're not going to fight.
"Now you've got Turki Alalshikh finding alternative real men who will fight at the drop of a hat. Eddie Hearn has cost us the biggest fight in boxing history."
Hearn has been publicly feuding with UFC president White since the launch of Zuffa Boxing earlier this year.
Speaking to IFL TV, Hearn said White's involvement in the promotion of the Fury and Joshua fight "ain't happening", despite Netflix's news release.
"Dana White cannot be involved with this fight promotion. Netflix clearly didn't get the memo. No one talks to each other," said Hearn.
"Then Netflix say the fight is in conjunction with Dana White. Now we have to go through that process and deal with it. It's a little bit annoying but as I've shown through the UK battle that we won, we stand by our contracts."
