Why Fury vs Joshua fight could still be at risk despite announcement

  • Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to fight in a heavyweight clash at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 11 December.
  • The bout's expected 2am start time could be blocked if Cardiff Council does not approve a variation to the venue's premises licence.
  • Principality Stadium is currently only permitted to host boxing or wrestling entertainment until 1am with the roof closed.
  • The application to change the licence requires a 28-day consultation period and could face a council hearing or refusal if objections are lodged.
  • Cardiff Council leader Chris Weaver highlighted the economic benefits of hosting the bout while confirming key arrangements are still being finalised.
