Summary

  • Spencer Brown said Tyson Fury’s long-delayed bout with Anthony Joshua is “100 per cent happening,” with November and December under discussion and December preferred.
  • Three venues remain under consideration, with Cardiff and Wembley still in the running after talks had stalled for months over where the all-British fight would be staged.
  • Eddie Hearn said Joshua’s side is still pushing to keep the event in the UK, while Brown said both camps are aligned and negotiations continue with Netflix, SELA and Turki Al-Sheikh.
  • Cardiff has been in the frame since at least July, when the Welsh Rugby Union said it was keen to host the fight at Principality Stadium.
