Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua were officially scheduled to meet on December 11, 2026, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The heavyweight bout was announced in September and is set to stream live globally on Netflix.
A long-awaited all-British matchup
Fury and Joshua had been linked for years, but the contest was not confirmed until organizers announced the date and venue. Both former heavyweight champions are expected to meet in one of the most prominent British boxing events of the year.
The scheduled fight will take place at Principality Stadium, with the event planned for Friday, December 11. Netflix’s announcement says the broadcast will stream globally to subscribers.
The bout is upcoming as of November 2026. No result or winner can be reported before the fight takes place.
The announcement and what is confirmed
Turki Alalshikh announced the date and Cardiff venue, with Netflix confirming the event and its streaming platform. The fight was promoted as an all-British heavyweight showdown.
The announcement confirmed the matchup, venue and date, while the undercard had not yet been fully announced in the source materials. Reports noted that Fury’s promoter had not issued a separate official statement at the time of the initial announcement.
The article therefore describes the event as scheduled and avoids treating it as completed. Netflix and the WBC provide direct confirmation of the planned bout.
