Fury’s Manager Says Proposed 2 a.m. Joshua Start Is Too Late

Tyson Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, says the proposed 2 a.m. UK start for Fury’s December 11 fight against Anthony Joshua in Cardiff is too late, and that the timing remains under negotiation. No start time has been finalized, leaving the main-event schedule uncertain. The bout is scheduled to take place at Principality Stadium. Brown said an early-morning start would be too late for UK supporters, including those attending in person, and argued that the fight should begin earlier. His comments were made in an interview with Playbook Boxing and reflect Fury’s camp’s position; they do not establish that organizers have agreed to change the schedule. The 2 a.m. time has been discussed as a possible arrangement to accommodate viewers in the United States. Reports also describe the timing as a proposal rather than a confirmed schedule. The exact start time for the main event, including when the fighters would make their ring walks, has not been formally announced. The event is due to be broadcast live on Netflix.
