Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua | NETFLIX - 11 December 2026

[mickey1975]

I definitely think Fury the PED cheat wins, but it's heavyweight boxing and AJ has proved that he can really dig. A lot will depend on Fury's output and accuracy. When he fought Ngannou, he landed an average of seven punches per round.

I think the Fury who showed up 6 months later in Usyk 1 will be OK. He will be dragging whatever he has left out for this, much like Kell Brook in the Khan fight.

Comparing it to Brook-Khan is a good shout, although I think Fury has more left than either of them. He might have been down a few times over the years, but he's never taken a beating or been brutally knocked out like Khan or Brook.

The only time I thought AJ would definitely beat Fury was after the Ngannou fight, now I give AJ a one in ten chance. He has a puncher's chance, nothing more.

Dominic Ingle said Brook was like a man possessed training for that fight and I think this will bring out the same reaction, hopefully in both. The consequences of a loss are terrible. We all know it’s nothing like it was but the general public don’t care. I’ve had countless people mention it to me. I do think it matters more to Tyson, though. AJ will be fine away from boxing doing his thing, whatever that is.

I was diagnosed as a manic depressive when I was a kid and I manage it myself without meds. The Mrs says I'm alright as long as I'm obsessed with something and she's right. Why am I telling you that? Like you, I think Fury will struggle when he's not obsessed with boxing.

It's interesting what Ingle says, because I believe a boxer's punch resistance all their level of being 'shot' can improve if they are laser focused. A good example would be Tommy Hearns, after the James Kinchen fight, it was reported that he was shot to pieces and he look very fragile in that fight. Fast forward to the Leonard fight and he was a different boxer.

I do exactly the same regarding alcoholism. I don’t do any recovery as It doesn’t work for me, I end up on it worse with someone from recovery. The only thing that has worked has been sublimation. I’ve set goals and achieved them in so many things over the last few years and this was all with my dad dying during the process.

You done amazingly well with that.

My dad was a functioning alcoholic for years and at his worst, was drinking two litres of vodka per day. He tried one AA meeting and it just wasn't for him, so, in his own words, used will power. Twenty years of sobriety later, he got to a place where he could have a bottle of wine every few months not relapse.

I think one of the main things is, you've got to want to stop. You can take a horse to water and all that. For me, I was sick of going from one extreme to the other. There isn't a day goes by when I don't miss the highs, but the memories of the lows keep me motivated to stop things getting too extreme. Every day you're breathing is a good day.

Anybody watched the press conference?

Joshua is a proper headcase. He's been acting loopy for years and his behaviour was definitely a bit off. He also hid behind the dark shades which historically I've associated with fighters not confident in their chances.

Fury looked a bit coked up but was very funny with the chat and a welcome relief from Joshua's tedious cliches.

Picking a winner purely on the press conference, which only a moron would do, Fury will blow him away.

I imagine going from being a bit of a bad boy slinging some drugs and fighting on the cobbles to a well spoken overly professional brand ambassador type would put your brain in a twist….

Add in a bunch of minor head injury’s…

Add in a couple of hundred million dollars…

Add in social media fame…

Yea I’m not surprised he isn’t 1000% mentally sound.

Having 2 of his best mates die instantly at the side of him won't have done anything to his mentality though.

Oh yea that little addition. I forgot about that… fella probably needs a win here…

[coneye]

Think you have to replace an obsession with an obsession, for years Boxing was my obsession. riding my motorbike was an hobby I enjoyed . NOW I.m not involved in a gym . Motorbike riding is my obsession at least 3 to 4 days a week regardless of weather and never less than 200 ....250 miles a ride and watching boxing is a hobby mainly just watching b the big fights .

[Grilling Machine]

It's funny, after the Ngannou demolition many of us favoured AJ, but history compels us to believe Fury wouldn't sign up if he didn't fancy it, so he now starts as clear favourite. I can see him having the confidence to hold centre if he thinks it'll surprise AJ. First good punch from either probably sets in motion the end.

They've traded the psychological advantage over the years, with Fury looking elsewhere when AJ was on form, and AJ wanting to rebuild against lesser men following his defeats. I still think Fury's last two fights were a bit suss, but then Prenga happened.

JOSHUA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WBA BELT AT STAKE IN FURY FIGHT

Anthony Joshua couldn’t care less about the WBA inexplicably placing its WBA “super” heavyweight title on the line for his upcoming showdown with Tyson Fury.

“For me, I’m not fighting for no championship,” Joshua told The Ring’s CEO, Rick Reeno, on “The Mr. Verzace Podcast” recently. “I’m just fighting to be better than the man across the ring from me. I don’t care about no belt.”

Shortly after the 12-round bout between Joshua (30-4, 27 KOs) and Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) was announced as Netflix’s headliner for a Ring card December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the WBA declared that its vacant “super” title would be at stake.

That doesn’t make sense to Joshua, a two-time unified champ and 2012 Olympic gold medalist.

When Oleksandr Usyk vacated his IBF, WBA and WBC titles in June, Murat Gassiev, who won the WBA secondary strap by stopping Kubrat Pulev in the sixth round in December 2025, was elevated to full champion. At the time, Gassiev was recognized as the heavyweight division’s lone WBA champion.

However, that will change in December, unless Fury-Joshua results in a draw or no-contest.

Fury, The Ring’s No. 3-ranked heavyweight, holds the No. 2 spot in the WBA’s rankings. Joshua is one spot behind him at No. 3 on the sanctioning body’s list of top 15 contenders.

The No. 1-ranked contender in the WBA, Jarrell Miller, is hoping to land a shot at Gassiev and his suddenly secondary title. The 32-year-old champion from Vladikavkaz, Russia, revealed in previous interviews that talks between his camp and Miller’s representatives are ongoing.

Joshua has always cared more about winning than hardware. But to a certain extent, he feels for Gassiev (34-2, 27 KOs) and his sudden demotion.

While he has no say in the matter, Joshua, who picked himself up off the deck twice to stop Kristian Prenga in the second round on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, wants Gassiev to know that he still reveres him and everything that he’s accomplished.
“To Murat Gassiev, we still respect you as champion,” Joshua said. “He’s only done what he was supposed to do.”

Gassiev previously owned the IBF and WBA cruiserweight titles, before losing those belts to Usyk in their full unification fight in July 2018.

Scammers, bro. They know they should pretend to have T&Cs but don't list any, and for obvious reasons thought better of naming a hotel. Mickey's right - there'll be hundreds of these.

The UK’s hidden economy

Using the Standard Industrial Classification system, there are currently around 740,000 companies in the UK that are ‘Hidden’. These are companies that are only classified under n.e.c. codes, and don’t use other standard codes alongside to describe their economic activities.

Whilst we might be able to see what broad industry these hidden companies work in, these codes provide very little value when it comes to actually measuring UK growth or emerging sectors. N.e.c. codes act as a dumping ground for companies within emerging markets which aren’t represented in the 2007 database, meaning thousands of businesses, millions of employees and billions in turnover often remain hidden or wrongly attributed in economic reports or policy development using SIC codes alone.

If these 2 were boxing in my back garden I'd get up and shut the curtains.

You’d take the time out to post about it on the internet though eh

Yeah I wanted to let everyone know that if they were boxing in my garden I'd close the curtains. Need to hear it a third time or you satisfied with twice?

Course you would Rick

(Probably) ain't gonna be no rematch between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua do not have a rematch clause in place ahead of their December 11 showdown at Cardiff, Wales’ Principality Stadium.

As Boxing Scene previously reported, no sequel was written into the contracts.

According to Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, and Spencer Brown, Fury’s manager, the heavyweights will be keen to move on from each other.

Or at least the winner will.

"Contractually, there's one fight,” Brown told Sky Sports.

“There's one big fight. It was designed for that.

"I'm not saying there can't be a second fight. But, if Tyson wins, we'd like to resume things with [Oleksandr] Usyk as well."

"They're all close to the end of their careers. Whoever loses here, where do they go? That's a tough one. Where do they go afterwards?

"Whoever wins, the journey continues. Whoever loses, they've got to think about what they're going to do and when they're going to do it."

Hearn, too, was careful not to completely rule out a sequel to what will be one of the biggest fights the UK has ever seen.

"No rematch clause. It's one fight, one-off. Listen, if it's a blockbuster, I'm sure they'll do it again," Hearn said.

"But for our mindset, it's one and done.

"Go in there, end this guy and on we go.

"Both guys could be down in this fight but they're so desperate to win you can guarantee they'll be climbing and crawling off that canvas to win the fight."

Eddie Hearn to meet Dana White over Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury: ‘We might work something out’

Eddie Hearn has confirmed he is due to meet with Zuffa Boxing representatives – including Dana White – this Wednesday in Los Angeles.

This follows months of claims from White that he will be the promoter of the upcoming super fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua on December 11. White has maintained from the beginning that he will promote the event on behalf of Saudi boxing financier Turki Alalshikh. Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Joshua, has been clear that White is unable to be involved due to a clause in Joshua’s contract prohibiting him from doing so.

Boxing Scene reported earlier this week that the promoters for the event, on paper, were confirmed by the British Boxing Board of Control as Matchroom Boxing, Queensberry Promotions and Sela – Zuffa were not listed on the form.

White, who was also not present at the launch press conference for the contest earlier this week, has since doubled down on his claims, stating he is both promoting and producing the event.

“Just to be honest with you, at this point I think he's just completely cooked,” said Hearn when asked about White’s recent comments. “What he actually said was, ‘We are producing this, we're doing the TV production,’ which again in the contract is prohibited.

“After [White made those claims], I spoke to Sela and I said, ‘Have you seen this?’ And they said, ‘Yes, and it's completely untrue,’ and they told me that I'm right. He cannot do that under the contract.

“So I just think, and I've got to actually admire him because rather than just going, ‘Listen, fair play, Hearn's had me by the short and curlies’ – well, actually there's not many of those – but he goes, ‘No,’ and he just won't give up. So I've got to quite respect him. The front on him is unbelievable.

“But they want me to meet them in LA next week, which I probably will.”

Hearn confirmed that White himself would be present at the meeting, although White has since denied he will attend during his most recent press conference for Dana White’s Contender Series.

So, what is the purpose of this meeting?

“It could be to clear the air. It could be, ‘What are we going to do? Are we going to keep doing this?’ Ultimately, and I don't mean to sound arrogant, they cannot be involved in the fight unless myself and Anthony allow them to be,” said Hearn. “And they seem to be very desperate to be involved in the fight. And Turki Alalshikh wants them to be involved in the fight, and so does Netflix. And I get that, it's great for the promotion.

“So I'm not against it. I just want you to tell me and explain why. Why should I? So what's in it? What's in it for us? Once we establish that, we can make a decision.”

Hearn has maintained that he is not expecting an apology from White for his behaviour and comments in recent weeks.

“He hasn’t said anything personally offensive to me,” said Hearn. “So I'm not really like, ‘Oh, you need to apologise.’ But they're completely – and again, I'm not trying to speak with real arrogance – but they're completely checkmated in this situation. But again, I'm not going to run this battle for the next 10 weeks. I’m just legally enforcing our position.

“If you really want to be involved that badly, talk to me. Dance with me.”

Despite the verbal between Hearn and White in recent weeks, Hearn believes that progress will be made at the meeting.

”I reckon we probably might work something out,” he said. “What I said to these guys is, ‘Why should I let you be involved in the fight after everything that you've said, and the way that you've acted, and the arrogance that you've had? Why?’

“What they should have done, and what he was supposed to have done, is to go up on one of these [press conferences] and go, ‘I'm now aware of the contractual position and I'm going to step back and not get in the way. And I'm going to meet with Matchroom, Eddie, Turki Alalshikh, and we're going to see if we can find a way forward.’

“That's what he was supposed to say. And he didn't quite do it.”

As far as free publicity goes, this is the gift that keeps on giving. It could run and run until the day of the fight,

"I'm not saying there can't be a second fight. But, if Tyson wins, we'd like to resume things with [Oleksandr] Usyk as well."

Usyk, the Shang Tsung of boxing. Maybe Fury can beat him when he's 137.

I mean, Fury already won the first two in his head.

If Usyk is going to have another fight after this proposed Wilder fight, it better not be against someone that he's already beaten. That's exactly what the fans don't want.
