Daniel Dubois wants winner of Fury vs Joshua after Cardiff fight announcement, Boxing News reports
Boxing News reports Daniel Dubois has urged Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to settle their December fight in the ring and said he hopes to face the winner after defending his WBO title.
Boxing News reports Daniel Dubois has given a reluctant take on the long-mooted clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and said he hopes to meet the winner in a unification bout next year. The publication says an announcement named December 11 as the date for the fight at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, headlining a Netflix and Ring event. Boxing News described Dubois as the WBO champion, and he told DAZN he is ‘sick of hearing about it’ and wants the two heavyweights to settle matters inside the ring. He added he would like to face the eventual victor but must first meet Fabio Wardley in a rematch on October 17.
Boxing News: Fury v Joshua scheduled for December 11 at Principality Stadium
Boxing News reports that an announcement has arrived saying Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are due to meet on December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, in a show described as a Netflix and Ring event. The Ring’s Mike Coppinger is cited by Boxing News as reporting that the pair will contest the WBA ‘super’ title. Boxing News notes that would give the winner a chance to become a three-time world champion. Boxing Ring News has not independently verified those reports and is attributing the details to the original coverage.

July tune-ups: Fury and Joshua both came through warm-up fights
Boxing News summarises the pair’s most recent outings in July: Fury stopped Mariusz Wach in seven rounds, while Joshua was reportedly knocked down twice before halting Kristian Prenga in the second round. Those performances are cited in the context of the December announcement and the expectations around the matchup. Boxing Ring News has kept these fight reports as Boxing News described them.
WBA ‘super’ strap and lingering questions over lineage
Boxing News highlights a potential complication around the WBA designation. While Mike Coppinger is reported to have said the WBA ‘super’ title will be at stake, Boxing News notes that many observers believed Murat Gassiev became the sanctioning body’s full champion after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished three belts in June. The report presents these competing threads without independent confirmation; Boxing Ring News attributes the account to Boxing News and The Ring’s reporting.
