Dana White has promised to never work with Tyson Fury's promoter Bob Arum on an event, essentially shutting down a possible fight with Francis Ngannou.
Both Fury and Ngannou are signed to exclusive broadcast deals with ESPN in America and BT Sport in the UK, and have been angling for a fight with one another as the boxing and UFC heavyweight champions.
But White has never been keen on working with boxers for crossover fights, and has a long-standing disdain for Arum over his comments towards MMA.
