Fury-Joshua Fight Confirmed
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua Set For First London Press Conference
Anonymous
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have arrived in London for their first face-to-face press conference ahead of their long-awaited heavyweight fight, scheduled for December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. The bout is set to stream globally on Netflix and will feature the vacant WBA super heavyweight title. Recent uncertainty centered on UFC chief Dana White’s proposed promotional role, which Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn says conflicts with Joshua’s contract; White is not expected at the launch. Fury has enrolled in VADA testing, and his manager says the remaining contract issues have been resolved, though the fighters’ ring-walk time is still under discussion.
