🥊 Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will fight at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on 11 December, according to BBC Sport’s announcement report.
The heavyweight meeting ends a long-running negotiation over where the bout would be held. Earlier reporting said Joshua’s contract required a United Kingdom venue after Madison Square Garden had been considered.
🏟️ Cardiff offers a retractable roof for a winter event. Reports before the announcement said organisers were also working through permits and the timing needed for a United States television audience.
Both fighters came through July bouts before the contest: Fury stopped Mariusz Wach, while Joshua stopped Kristian Prenga after two first-round knockdowns. ⏱️ The announcement report did not specify the final start time or the rest of the event card.
