Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to meet in an all-English heavyweight fight in Cardiff, Wales, in December, according to CBS Sports.
Promoter Frank Warren told Sky Sports that both fighters will receive British-record paydays for the bout. Financial details were not disclosed in the reports.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, has maintained that UFC chief executive Dana White will not be involved in promoting the fight, MMA Fighting reported. Hearn’s comments addressed speculation about White’s potential role and included a reference to Netflix, though no further promotional arrangements were detailed.
Former world cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson warned that Joshua could be in a “world of trouble” against Fury unless he improves on his most recent performance, according to Sky Sports. Nelson’s assessment was commentary ahead of the planned contest rather than a change to the bout’s status.
