Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
Where to watch: Netflix
Preview
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally meet in the ring on Friday 11 December, when the two former world heavyweight champions top the bill at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The 12-round heavyweight contest will be shown in the UK on Netflix. Joshua, from Watford, goes in with a record of 30 wins and four defeats. He has boxed only twice since losing his IBF title to Daniel Dubois in 2024, so questions remain over how sharp he will be against his old domestic rival. Fury, born in Manchester and now based in Peel on the Isle of Man, came back to boxing this year after a long time away. The fight settles a rivalry that has hung over British heavyweight boxing for years, and both men know that defeat could all but end their careers at the top level.
