Fury-Joshua fight: Cardiff residents oppose late-night extension

Cardiff residents have voiced opposition to plans to extend licensing hours for the highly anticipated heavyweight boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, scheduled to take place at the Principality Stadium on December 11. The event is expected to continue until 3am on December 12 to cater to prime-time viewers in the United States.

However, the stadium's request to remain open until 3:30am has been met with concerns over noise, anti-social behavior, traffic congestion and public safety. Cardiff Council's licensing subcommittee is set to consider the application on November 25. Some residents support the event, citing potential economic benefits, while others warn that disturbances could continue well into the early morning, causing significant disruption for local families.
