Tyson Fury will face fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua in Cardiff on December 11, with the long-awaited fight finally set for the Principality Stadium.
Promoters previously considered venues in New York and London before selecting the Welsh capital. The 80,000-capacity stadium will host one of the biggest British boxing events in recent years.
Fury-Joshua Fight Finally Gets Date
Saudi Arabian boxing promoter Turki Alalshikh confirmed the date and venue on Thursday after months of negotiations. The talks had faced uncertainty as Fury pushed for another bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
Alalshikh announced that the fight would take place in the UK, fulfilling his earlier promise to British boxing fans. The confirmation now allows both former world champions to begin their final preparations.
The Principality Stadium has hosted major sporting events, including Champions League and FA Cup finals. It also regularly stages Wales football and rugby matches, making it a familiar venue for major international competitions.
Former Champions Prepare For Showdown
Fury, 38, most recently defeated 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in Thailand in July. Meanwhile, 36-year-old Joshua overcame Kristian Prenga two months ago after surviving two first-round knockdowns.
Both fighters had already signed contracts earlier this year, but promoters had not confirmed the date or location. Now, the December showdown has removed the remaining uncertainty surrounding the highly anticipated bout.
Netflix will broadcast the fight, adding further attention to an event that has attracted global interest. The all-British heavyweight contest will finally bring two of the division’s most recognizable names together inside the ring.
The matchup has been discussed for years, with negotiations repeatedly delaying the meeting. However, Fury and Joshua can now focus on preparations ahead of their December 11 clash in Cardiff.
