Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua Set for December 11 Bout in Cardiff

Published

The story

The heavyweight contest marks the culmination of years of negotiations between the two British former champions. The event, presented in collaboration with Turki Alalshikh’s The Ring and Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, is set to take place at the Principality Stadium, a venue chosen to satisfy requirements for a UK-based fight. A press conference to promote the bout is scheduled for September 30 in London.

Anthony Joshua, 36, holds a record of 30-4, while 38-year-old Tyson Fury enters the contest at 36-2-1. Both fighters secured victories earlier in 2026 following previous losses to Oleksandr Usyk. While the date is confirmed, organizers are currently coordinating with local authorities regarding potential licensing requirements for the event’s finish time, as the stadium’s roof will be utilized to mitigate December weather conditions.
