British heavyweight rivals Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to come face-to-face for the first time in London ahead of their blockbuster showdown. The long-awaited clash, officially confirmed for Friday, December 11, 2026, will take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and will stream live globally on Netflix.
After more than a decade of speculation, failed negotiations, and social media back-and-forth, the two former world champions are finally preparing to share a stage to kick off the promotional build-up for what is projected to be the biggest all-British fight in boxing history. The development comes days after Fury raised fresh doubts over the fight, claiming there was only a “one per cent” chance of him facing Joshua next.
Fury questioned why a showdown with Joshua had repeatedly failed to materialise despite his long career against other heavyweight champions. “I’ve had nearly 40 professional fights, yeah, and I’ve been on top of this game for over a decade,” Fury said in an interview with FurociTV.
“How did I manage to fight all these people before you, all these champions, yeah, for all these titles that there is in boxing, but, yeah, every time it comes to fighting [Joshua]… it never happens. Has anyone ever asked themselves why?”
