Overview
- Promoters confirmed the long-awaited heavyweight fight for Friday December 11 with the Principality Stadium in Cardiff as the venue.
- A licence variation filed by Millennium Stadium Plc seeks to extend boxing and music hours so ring walks can start at about 1am and the stadium can stay open until 03:30, and the public can object to the change until November 3.
- Netflix will stream the event live and exclusively worldwide at no extra cost to subscribers, making US audience timing a key driver of the proposed late schedule.
- Tickets go on general sale through Ticketmaster in the UK at 12pm BST on Friday October 9 with a limit of eight per person and prices reported to start around £75 for high-up seats.
- Major commercial details remain unresolved, including final promoter and production credits, the fighters’ purses and the undercard lineup, any of which could shift the show as licence and contract talks continue.
