Overview
- Promoter Turki Al-Alshikh confirmed on Thursday, September 24, 2026, that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will meet on 11 December at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
- Netflix holds exclusive global rights to the live broadcast, a demand that pushed organisers to seek a venue and start time that fit U.S. prime-time viewing.
- Wembley was dropped after Netflix’s U.S.-friendly timing conflicted with the stadium’s rules, while alternatives such as Madison Square Garden were discussed before organisers settled on a UK site.
- Joshua’s team and promoter Eddie Hearn had a contractual clause requiring a fight in Great Britain, a provision that helped determine Cardiff as the host city.
- Both fighters returned to competition in 2026 with tune-up wins—Fury beat Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach, Joshua beat Kristian Prenga—while undercard line-up and the official start time remain to be announced.
