Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua set for December heavyweight clash
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have officially moved forward with their heavyweight clash, scheduled for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The bout, bankrolled by Saudi Arabian promoter Turki Alalshikh, will be broadcast live on Netflix.
During a recent press conference in London, the two fighters appeared together despite recent tensions. Joshua predicted a spectacular victory, suggesting he aims for a first-round knockout. He also clarified that a potential loss would not result in his retirement. Fury, who has been installed as the early favorite by bookmakers, expressed confidence that the fight will live up to its massive expectations.
The event has been marked by significant behind-the-scenes drama. Fury claimed the fight was nearly canceled just days before the press conference due to contractual disputes and disagreements over the venue. Additionally, Netflix has reportedly signed Joshua to a £10 million deal for a four-part documentary series expected to release next spring, though the project's success may hinge on the outcome of the fight.
