Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will fight on Dec. 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, after a decade of negotiations. The bout, promoted by Ring Magazine and UFC president Dana White, will be broadcast on Netflix. Saudi Arabian boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh confirmed the fight, stating the time for talking is over.

Joshua insisted on a UK venue despite initial U.S. preferences from Sela and Netflix. The Principality Stadium, an 80,000-capacity arena with a retractable roof, was chosen following pressure from Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn. Fury and Joshua bring 66 wins, 52 knockouts, and multiple heavyweight titles to the fight.

A news conference is scheduled for Sept. 30 at British Airways Arc in London.
