Cardiff application seeks 1 a.m. Joshua-Fury ring walk

A licensing application to Cardiff Council seeks permission for a 1 a.m. ring walk for the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua fight on December 11 and for Principality Stadium to remain open until 3:30 a.m. The requested hours have not been confirmed as approved, leaving the final schedule uncertain. The bout is scheduled to take place at the Cardiff stadium, with reports saying the proposed ring walk would fall early on Saturday, December 12, local time. The event itself is listed for Friday, December 11. The licensing request describes the extended hours as a limited, one-off occasion. The late proposed start would mean UK viewers and spectators in the stadium could be watching through the early hours. The schedule has been described in reports as aligning with evening viewing hours in the United States. However, the available information does not establish who selected the proposed time or confirm that serving U.S. audiences was the reason for it. The application is the key outstanding issue: Cardiff Council’s decision will determine whether the venue can operate during the requested hours. Until that decision is clear, the 1 a.m. ring walk and 3:30 a.m.
