Video: Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua have respectful first faceoff

For the first time ahead of their heavyweight showdown, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua finally came face to face.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have finally met in person after a decade of verbal sparring, as they prepare for their highly anticipated heavyweight bout. Scheduled to take place on December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the fight has generated significant buzz. Both fighters engaged in a cordial press conference on Wednesday, resulting in a respectful faceoff.

White was notably absent from the press conference and not specifically mentioned as a promoter before the event.
