Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua set for December 11 heavyweight fight

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to face off in a highly anticipated heavyweight bout on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The match, which could be for the WBA super heavyweight title, has been described as a decade in the making. The event is expected to be streamed globally on Netflix.

Fury has expressed interest in inviting US President Donald Trump to participate in his ring walk, citing their previous meeting at the White House. While Fury acknowledges the likelihood is low due to presidential duties, he remains keen on the theatricality of the moment. Fury has also stated that he views the fight against Joshua as a warm-up for a potential trilogy match against Oleksandr Usyk.

Contractual details reveal that the agreement is for a single bout with no guaranteed rematch clause. Managers for both fighters noted that the outcome will likely dictate the future of their respective careers. Additionally, the event has faced administrative friction between promoters, specifically regarding the involvement of Dana White and Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn in the production.

On a personal note, Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury, has announced he will not attend the fight due to concerns regarding his son’s health and the potential for brain damage.
