Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are scheduled to fight in Cardiff in December, according to The Associated Press, in a long-awaited all-British heavyweight bout.
BoxingScene reported that the agreement does not include a rematch clause and that a “world” title will be at stake. ESPN reported that the Cardiff event is planned for a Friday, while the BBC said the fight is expected to provide a major boost to the local economy.
Questions remain over whether the bout will proceed as announced. The New York Times reported that Fury has claimed the fight is in jeopardy, while Joshua’s camp expects it to go ahead. Bleacher Report separately said the contest could reportedly be called off and that possible replacement opponents had been identified.
UFC chief Dana White has also faced questions about his involvement in the event. Sky Sports quoted White responding, “Who is going to stop me?” Further details about his role were not specified.
The reports did not provide an exact fight date, start time or details about the title involved.
