Former Boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has accepted to fight Tyson Fury in a highly-anticipated showdown on December 3, 2022, in Wales.
Reeling from his consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua was handed a lifeline by Fury who challenged him to fight, giving him two options, November 26, 2022, at Wembley Stadium or December 3, 2022, at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
Responding to Fury’s challenge in a Twitter post, Joshua’s management revealed that they have accepted all terms and will fight on December 3, 2022, in Wales.

“258 and @MatchroomBoxing can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshua, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury’s team for a fight on December 3rd last Friday. Due to the Queen’s passing, it was agreed to halt all communication.”
“We are awaiting a response,” the tweet concluded.
The Quest Times reports that Tyson Fury had earlier announced his retirement from Boxing on his 34th birthday, but the Gypsy King is set to return to the ring to face his long-time rival.
