Come December 3, 2023, the much-talked-about fight between Two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, will finally happen. The all-English showdown will happen in Cardiff, the Welsh Capital, due to Anthony Joshua accepting the terms Fury.

Joshua’s management revealed this on Tuesday via the Twitter handle of the boxer.

“258 and @MatchroomBoxing can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshua, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury’s team for a fight Dec 3rd last Friday. Due to the Queen’s passing, it was agreed to halt all communication.”

“We are awaiting a response,” the tweet concluded.

Fury had challenged Joshua last week, giving him two dates to select for the epic match. He gave him November 26 at Wembley Stadium or December 3 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. In response, Joshua opted for December 3 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. 

As reported by Nollywood Times, Joshua, 32, lost for the second time to Usyk in Saudi Arabia last month and had decided to return to prominence quickly, but this bout might be even bigger than the fight with the Ukrainian.

Responding to Fury’s offer last week, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn expressed caution, questioning whether Fury was “serious” about the bout.

The unbeaten Fury announced he was retiring on his 34th birthday last month, having previously performed several U-turns over his future in the sport.

But in a video posted on social media last week, he appeared to confirm he had reversed his decision again as he challenged Joshua to a showdown.

Former champion Joshua fell to 24-3 with his latest defeat to Usyk, who retained his WBO, IBF, and WBA belts, but a clash with Fury would spark massive interest in Britain.
