Joshua vs. Fury start time? Hearn eases fears

Promoter Eddie Hearn has eased fan concerns about the start time for the proposed Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight, stating he does not expect the bout to begin as late as 3 a.m. BST. The fight is reportedly close to being officially announced for Friday, December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with a slightly later-than-usual start time planned to maximize the global Netflix audience. Joshua (30-4, 27 KOs) and Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) both signed contracts earlier this year with Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh.
