Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua confirmed for December 2026 in Cardiff
The long-awaited heavyweight boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has been officially confirmed for December 11, 2026, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The event will be streamed globally on Netflix at no additional cost to subscribers.
The bout is expected to be for the vacant WBA Super heavyweight title, previously held by Oleksandr Usyk. This decision has sparked controversy, with current WBA champion Murat Gassiev's team formally challenging the move, arguing that Gassiev should be the one fighting for the Super status.
Financially, the fight is set to be historic, with an estimated total purse of approximately $200 million, split equally between the two fighters. The promotion involves collaboration between Turki Alalshikh of the Saudi Boxing Federation and Netflix. Tyson Fury has also indicated he removed a contractual clause to allow UFC CEO Dana White and TKO to participate in the promotion, despite resistance from Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn.
