Cardiff appears favourite to host Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua bout

Cardiff is emerging as the frontrunner to host the heavyweight boxing clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, with December 12 reported as the likely date for the all-British showdown. The Principality Stadium, which previously hosted the Lewis vs Bruno fight in 1993, would need to secure a curfew extension from local authorities to accommodate the late start time required for US television. Negotiations had previously stalled over contractual issues, with Joshua's deal with Saudi promoters Sela stipulating the fight must take place in the UK.
