Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight confirmed for December 2026
The long-awaited heavyweight boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has been officially confirmed for December 11, 2026. The bout will take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and will be streamed globally on Netflix.
Promoter Turki Alalshikh announced the event, which is expected to be one of the most significant financial spectacles in British boxing history, with reports estimating a total purse of approximately $200 million. The winner is expected to compete for the vacant WBA ‘Super’ heavyweight title.
Despite the confirmation, the fight faces promotional uncertainty. Tyson Fury has accused Anthony Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn of attempting to withdraw from the match. The dispute reportedly centers on the involvement of UFC CEO Dana White in the promotion. Hearn has maintained that existing contractual obligations prevent White’s participation, while Fury claims he personally removed similar restrictions from his own contract to facilitate the collaboration.
