Fury and Joshua to earn record paydays in December fight
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will earn the highest paydays of their careers when they face off on December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Promoter Frank Warren announced that the fight, supported by Netflix and Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh, comes after a decade of failed negotiations.
Disputes over venue and UFC boss Dana White's involvement had previously threatened the bout. Warren stated that the financial rewards were too significant for the fight to fall apart again.
Initially, Netflix wanted the fight at Madison Square Garden, but Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, insisted on a UK venue due to a legally binding contract. Warren secured the Principality Stadium, negotiating a later ring-walk time to cater to a prime-time audience in the United States.
Warren expressed confidence in Fury's victory, citing his experience and resilience in the ring.
