## The story

Tyson Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, has confirmed that a fight with Anthony Joshua is "100 per cent happening", with negotiations still underway. The bout, long awaited by British boxing fans, could take place in December and would be hosted at one of three UK venues, including Cardiff and Wembley Stadium. Brown told Sky Sports that Fury has been on board from the start and is willing to fight at any location. He added that the negotiations involve key promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, and that the final decision will rest with Turki Al‑Sheikh, Netflix and SELA. The Welsh Rugby Union expressed enthusiasm for hosting the event, citing the stadium’s close‑roof design and city‑centre location. While the fight’s date remains unconfirmed, the manager’s confidence suggests the match will materialise this year. The potential venue switch has kept the fight alive after earlier stalling over location disputes. Fans can expect a high‑profile British boxing bonanza if the negotiations conclude successfully.
