Overview
- Promoters confirmed Thursday that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will fight on December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
- The fight will stream globally on Netflix and is being promoted by Turki Alalshikh’s The Ring with Dana White involved in the promotion.
- Netflix is pushing to create a double main event and is in talks to add Manny Pacquiao vs. Shakur Stevenson, but Pacquiao’s advisor says formal bout contracts have not yet been delivered.
- Organisers picked Principality Stadium for its retractable roof and local flexibility, and they plan a late UK ring walk so the main event can reach U.S. prime time audiences.
- The announcement settles months of negotiation over staging in the UK versus the U.S., and teams will meet at a press conference on Sept. 30 as promoters finalise undercard plans and contracts.
