Fury v Joshua announced for 11 December in Cardiff

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to face off in their highly anticipated heavyweight bout at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11th. Both fighters have recently completed warm-up matches, with Fury victorious over Mariusz Wach in Thailand and Joshua overcoming a tough round with Albanian Kristian Prenga following his tragic car crash in Nigeria.

Despite previous discussions about Wembley Stadium, Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, stressed the importance of this fight taking place in Britain for British fans. Cardiff has finally secured the event, satisfying the city's desire to host such a significant sporting occasion.
