British former heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will clash in Cardiff on December 11, according to promoter Turki Alalshikh. The bout, which has been a long-awaited unification fight, will unify all the major belts. Fury, 38, recently defeated Mariusz Wach, while Joshua, 36, secured a victory by knocking out Kristian Prenga in July.
The two had ruled the division for much of the past decade. Despite attempts to unify the belts in the past, the bout never materialized. Fury and Joshua were later defeated by Oleksandr Usyk, who became the undisputed heavyweight champion. Alalshikh confirmed the fight would take place in the UK, after media reports suggested it could have been staged at New York's Madison Square Garden.
