Fury-Joshua tickets priced up to £13,000 sell out in one hour

Tickets for the heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at Cardiff's Principality Stadium sold out within a single hour. The bout, scheduled for the early hours of 12 December, will be streamed globally on Netflix. Priced from £88.50 to £13,128 including fees, the most expensive tickets were claimed within minutes of release, while cheaper options were snapped up quickly as well.

The all-British event, announced in September, was promoted as a collaboration between Saudi boxing magnate Turki Alalshikh's The Ring and UFC chief Dana White. Despite initial uncertainty about the fight, the Principality Stadium confirmed its suitability, having hosted late-night boxing before. The undercard fights and specific details of the event remain to be announced.

Joshua and Fury, both former two-time world champions, signed contracts for the bout earlier this year, but the date and venue were only confirmed recently.
