Cardiff Stadium possible venue for Joshua-Fury clash

The Cardiff  Principality Stadium has been tipped as a venue for the proposed ‘All-British’ bout between World champion Tyson Fury and British-Nigerian Anthony Joshua.

On Monday Fury tabled a proposal to fight Joshua, with the latter saying he would be ready by December.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearns said that if a fight takes place in December,  Cardiff will be the only place to hold it.

“That time of year, you’d only really have one choice which is the Millennium Stadium (Principality Stadium),” he said.

“You’re leaving a huge amount of money behind to do the fight in the UK, but, guess what, these two also have a huge amount of money.”

He went on to add: “We’ve got our plan in place. We’ve known what the original plan was. Since he walked out of that ring after getting defeated by Usyk, until a day ago, we’ve been working on that plan to bring AJ back and move him towards the world heavyweight title.

“If this opportunity presents itself, fantastic. But we’ve got to keep the move going because I think this is an exciting time for AJ, especially if he gets a shot at Fury. I believe this fight will happen. Will it happen in December? I have my doubts, but we’re ready to talk.”

Fury went on video to explain how much he was willing to share with Joshua cash-wise if the fight happened.

If both fighters head to the ring, it would be the biggest fight involving British boxers since Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno clashed in 1995.
