Eddie Hearn addresses start time concerns for Joshua vs Fury fight
Summary

Eddie Hearn confirmed that the highly anticipated Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury bout is expected to take place in Cardiff on December 11. Although fans worried about a potential late start time for the UK audience, Hearn assured that the fight will not commence at 3 AM BST. The delay in announcing the fight's details was due to discussions regarding the start time with the Principality Stadium. Joshua has insisted on fighting in the UK, while Fury's team had explored other locations, including the US. Both fighters are former two-time world heavyweight champions and have been linked for nearly a decade.
