Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are confirmed to fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Dec. 11.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have confirmed a heavyweight bout scheduled for Dec. 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The 38-year-old Fury enters the contest with a professional record of 36-2-1, including 25 knockouts, while the 37-year-old Joshua holds a 30-4 record with 27 knockouts. Between 2019 and 2021, the two fighters held all four versions of the world heavyweight title simultaneously.

Joshua’s career includes 13 world title fights (9-4) and seven total defenses, ranking him 12th all-time for consecutive heavyweight title defenses. His resume features a TKO 11 victory over Wladimir Klitschko and a points win to unify titles against Joseph Parker. However, he has suffered 11 professional knockdowns, including four in a Round 7 loss to Andy Ruiz and four during a Round 5 knockout defeat against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.

Fury maintains a 5-2-1 record in world title bouts and has never been stopped in his professional career. His notable victories include a unanimous decision over Klitschko in 2015 and two stoppage wins against Deontay Wilder (TKO 7 and KO 11). Despite his resilience, Fury has been floored nine times as a professional, including counts taken against Steve Cunningham, Neven Pajkic, Francis Ngannou, and Oleksandr Usyk.

Financial and attendance records highlight the scale of the rivalry. Joshua’s net worth is estimated at £240 million ($320 million), and his bout against Dubois set a record attendance of 98,128 at Wembley Stadium. Fury’s highest attendance was 94,000 for his TKO 6 victory over Dillian Whyte at the same venue.
