Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: Netflix on board as UK venue emerges
Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury appeared to be slipping away, with the long-rumoured venue, Madison Square Garden, being the cause. Team Joshua have made it clear they want the fight in the UK, with Eddie Hearn leading the charge. However, it now appears there is a “strong chance” the fight lands in the UK, with Dan Rafael reporting the Principality Stadium in Cardiff as the likely venue.
Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: The saga continues
2026 has been littered with updates regarding the negotiations for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. First, AJ wanted a warm-up fight, with Fury taking two fights to blow away his rustiness. Both came through, with Joshua surviving a nightmare first round against Kristian Prenga.
It appeared that if the fight does indeed happen, it would be destined for MSG, something that has confused fight fans. Hearn has spoken about the deal on a multitude of occasions, making it clear Joshua had signed for the fight to take place at Wembley Stadium.
A new venue has now jumped to the front of the queue.

On his personal X account, Rafael wrote:
“Per sources involved, there is a strong chance #JoshuaFury will indeed take place in the UK at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Nov. 28. Capacity 80k+ & has retractable roof. Asked if Netflix was now OK with the move one source said, “I think they’re OK.” Whatever happens was told it would be resolved next couple of days.”
Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: The Big Fight Weekend verdict
This latest update really feels like a major barrier has been broken through in negotiations. Whether you’re Team Fury or Team Joshua, the update from Dan Rafael feels significant.
November 28, in front of a passionate boxing crowd of 80,000, is what this fight deserves. Yes, it’s not Wembley, but the Principality has previously hosted two Joshua fights: his wins over Carlos Takam and Joseph Parker. If Wembley is off the table, Big Fight Weekend is backing Cardiff!
