Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua has finally found a date and location.

Chairman of the Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh, announced that Fury vs. Joshua will be taking place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Dec. 11.  The long overdue heavyweight grudge match will be streamed live on Netflix.

“For 15 years no one has been able to make this fight,” Alalshikh said. “Back in April, I said that any announcement would come from me. I can now confirm that Fury Vs Joshua will be coming to the UK, as I promised British boxing fans. The time for talking is over ……..”

Prior to the announcement, Fury vowed to put Joshua to sleep early in a video clip posted on his Instagram account (via MMAFighting).

“I’m gonna knock him out so bad, it’s gonna be unbelievable,” Fury said. “It’s gonna be the quickest knockout ever. Man’s chinny and a poppadom, paper chin. I’m taking him out. The last two real fights he had, it was over in both first rounds — not including Jake Paul, obviously. So the last two fights he had, he was down in the first round twice. I’m taking this cunt out. One round.”

There had been a disagreement between both sides over the location of the bout. Per the initial terms agreed to by Joshua’s camp, the fight was to take place in the United Kingdom. Fury’s team was reportedly pushing for the bout to emanate from Madison Square Garden in New York City. The general consensus is that Fury vs. Joshua should’ve always been planned for England.

Not long before the announcement, Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua, was confident that the bout would indeed come to fruition under the original terms. It’s clear that he had good reason to be optimistic.
