14 after weeks of talk and negotiations from both Fury promoter Bob Arum and Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn. WBC champion Tyson Fury took to Twitter on Sunday where he confirmed the date as Saturday, Aug. Watford-born Joshua has twice fought at the Principality Stadium, beating Carlos Takam at the 74,500-seater venue in 2017 before overcoming Joseph Parker on the same stage in 2018.One of the biggest fights in modern boxing history appears to finally have a date and location.
#JOSHUA VS FURY PROFESSIONAL#
Joshua's loss to Usyk in August was the third of his professional career while Fury remains undefeated having won 32 of his 33 bouts, drawing one against Deontay Wilder. They then face Georgia in Cardiff on November 19 before rounding off their 2022 schedule against Australia on November 26. Wayne Pivac's side face New Zealand on November 5 before hosting Argentina seven days later.
Will it happen in December? I have my doubts, but we're ready to talk."Ĭardiff's Principality Stadium will host four rugby autumn internationals in November, meaning the fight would likely have to be scheduled for the middle of December for it to be held in the Welsh capital. But we've got to keep the move going because I think this is an exciting time for AJ, especially if he gets a shot at Fury. "If this opportunity presents itself, fantastic. Since he walked out of that ring after getting defeated by Usyk, until a day ago, we've been working on that plan to bring AJ back and move him towards the world heavyweight title. He went on to add: "We've got our plan in place. "You're leaving a huge amount of money behind to do the fight in the UK, but, guess what, these two also have a huge amount of money."
When asked by Ally McCoist on Talksport if the fight would be held in the United Kingdom, Hearn responded: "That time of year, you'd only really have one choice which is the Millennium Stadium," he said on Talksport. Representatives of both fighters have been holding talks over the details of a potential heavyweight bout between the pair, and Joshua's promoter Hearn has stated that - should the fight take place in December - Cardiff would be the only venue able to play host to the mouth-watering showdown. I don’t do the online discussions just for clout, so if you're real about it shout I’ll be ready in December. Joshua accepted the challenge, responding on Twitter: "Yea calm. "You're coming off a 12-round fight, so you're match fit, you're ready. Anthony Joshua, I know you've just lost a fight to Usyk and you're beltless at the moment, and I'd like to give you an opportunity to fight me for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world, and the lineal championship in the next few months. "I think that before I announce an opponent that I need to do this, just in case. "I think you've all heard that I'm going to be fighting soon, in the next few months," Fury said in a post on Twitter.
On Monday, Fury - who was in Cardiff on Saturday for the WWE Clash at the Castle event - offered Joshua the chance to fight for a world title, despite the Londoner's recent loss to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has stated Cardiff's Principality Stadium is the only suitable UK venue to host a potential heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in December.
