Fury–Joshua Set for Cardiff; Dubois and Hrgovic Renew Rivalry

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are scheduled to meet on December 11, 2026, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Netflix announced the venue and date after months of uncertainty around the heavyweight contest. The fight will stream live, and the undercard has not been fully announced.

Several developments came after Frank Warren’s June interview. Joshua returned against Kristian Prenga in July and stopped him in the second round after being knocked down twice. Fury defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision in April. Those bouts served as the separate contests each man had before their planned meeting.

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley also completed their rematch on October 17. Dubois retained the WBO heavyweight title with a second-round stoppage at The O2 in London. Filip Hrgovic entered the ring afterward and confronted Dubois, renewing their rivalry following Dubois’ 2024 win over him.

Moses Itauma’s planned August return ended in a loss to Hrgovic, who stopped him in the ninth round. That result changed the prospect’s immediate path toward a title shot. Fury–Joshua is now the division’s major scheduled event, while other possible heavyweight matchups remain subject to separate announcements. The fight was formally announced in September, and it will be the first professional meeting between the former champions. The Cardiff bout remains upcoming, so no result or outcome should be attached to it yet.
