Joshua–Fury Scheduled for December 11 in Cardiff
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury were scheduled to meet on December 11, 2026, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The announced date followed years of public calls for the heavyweight rivals to fight.
A date and venue were announced
Coverage of the first press conference described the fighters’ respectful face-off and the event’s launch. The booking moved the rivalry from public demands toward a scheduled contest, though the fight had not yet taken place at the time of this report.
Dana White said UFC’s production team would work on the event. That is an operational role and should not be confused with a change to the fighters’ promoters or with the bout already being completed.
Keep the status current
Sky Sports reported on the press conference, while MMA Fighting covered White’s comments about UFC’s involvement. Those sources support the scheduled date and promotional context.
Because this is an upcoming fight in the article’s timeframe, the language should remain “scheduled.” Any postponement, cancellation or result would need an updated report based on later official information.
The first press conference and face-off were promotional events, not the fight itself. The announced December 11 date at Principality Stadium was the scheduled contest, while White’s remarks concerned UFC production work on the event.
The promotion’s event rollout included a press conference and face-off, but the scheduled bout remained in the future.
