Fury and Joshua set to face off at London press conference ahead of December bout
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will meet in a London press conference on Wednesday as they prepare for their December 11 heavyweight clash in Cardiff.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are expected to hold a joint press conference in London on Wednesday, the first time the rivals will appear together since their December 11 showdown was announced. The event will take place at British Airways ARC inside the Olympia, with promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren in attendance after recent issues, including questions about Fury's drug-testing enrollment, were resolved. Both fighters have hinted at the high stakes, noting that the contest will also carry the WBA "super" heavyweight title, offering the winner a third world crown.
Fury previously suggested only a one-percent chance of the fight happening, while Joshua's camp has pushed forward with media obligations. The meeting follows a flurry of statements on the FurociTV YouTube channel and confirmations that all parties are now aligned for the promotional duties.
Why it matters
The conference confirms the long-awaited heavyweight bout, a major event for boxing fans worldwide.
