Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua: Cardiff fight may see 1:00 AM ringwalk
An application to city authorities indicates the ringwalk is planned for about 1:00 AM UK time, with the Principality Stadium staying open until 3:30 AM.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to meet on 11 December in Cardiff, and a document filed with city authorities reveals when the fighters are expected to make their ring entrances.
According to the application, the ringwalk is planned for about 1:00 AM UK time, i.e., in the early hours of 12 December. A short musical act is scheduled to precede the main event.
The venue named in the filing is the Principality Stadium, which is expected to remain open until 3:30 AM.
Late start intended for U.S. audience
Organizers say the late-hour slot is intended to fit U.S. prime time and maximize the fight's television audience in America.
The timing — a midnight-to-early-morning ringwalk locally — follows the promoters' attempt to reconcile a major European date with the peak viewing window across the Atlantic.
