Cardiff set to host Fury-Joshua fight on December 11

Summary

The heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is expected to take place at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11. Negotiations involving Netflix and the Saudi Arabian organisers Sela have positioned Cardiff as the frontrunner, as Joshua's contractual obligation requires the fight to be held in the UK. Previously, New York was considered, but difficulties in meeting weather and broadcasting requirements shifted the venue decision. An official announcement is anticipated this week.
