PROMOTERS hiring Wembley will continue to have the last word on accreditation disputes after a Telegraph journalist was barred from the Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois fight at the weekend.

The Telegraph’s chief sports writer, Oliver Brown, says he was refused access to Saturday’s heavyweight world title bout after writing an opinion piece on Friday which was critical of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the sport.

The FA, which owns Wembley, is understood to be disappointed at the treatment Brown received. Reporters have been urged to contact the governing body should similar disputes arise in the future and it will endeavour to resolve them.
