The highly awaited showdown between TYSON FURY and Anthony Joshua at the Principality Stadium is poised to be the MOST LUCRATIVE match in British boxing history.

The two boxers, aged 38 and 36 respectively, will meet SIX YEARS after initially agreeing on a two-fight deal in 2021, when both held the heavyweight titles.
Since that agreement fell apart—primarily due to Fury’s obligation to fight Deontay Wilder in a trilogy—much has shifted in the boxing landscape.
Time has undeniably influenced both fighters, especially with the rise of Ukrainian contender Oleksandr Usyk.
Although they may not be at their peak performance, this hasn’t deterred Saudi conglomerate Sela and streaming giant Netflix from investing heavily in this Cardiff event.
