Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally meet in the ring on December 11, with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium set to host one of boxing’s most anticipated heavyweight clashes.
The all-British showdown will stream live exclusively on Netflix, giving subscribers around the world access without an additional charge.
Saudi boxing promoter Turki Alalshikh announced the fight and praised Fury and Joshua as two of the best heavyweights of their generation.
Fury enters the contest with 36 wins, two losses and one draw, while Joshua has recorded 30 victories and four defeats. The two former world champions have spent years linked with a potential fight, but they have never faced each other professionally.
The Cardiff venue will bring the highly anticipated contest to the UK after years of discussions and negotiations surrounding the fight.
Joshua welcomed the announcement with a message about patience finally paying off, while promoter Eddie Hearn thanked British fans for their support in helping secure the UK venue.
Fury and Joshua will begin the official promotional build-up on September 30, when they meet at a press conference in London.
The December showdown now gives both fighters the chance to settle their long-running rivalry and add another major chapter to their careers.
After years of anticipation, the talking will soon give way to fight night.
