Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua held their first joint press conference in London on September 30, confirming their heavyweight fight for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The event marked the end of a months-long promotional dispute, though the atmosphere was notably calm compared to expectations.
