The December showdown will bring together two of Britain's biggest boxing names after more than a decade of failed attempts.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally meet in a long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11, Sky Sports reported on Thursday.
The location had been a major stumbling block in negotiations, with Joshua's camp insisting the fight should take place in Britain.
Fury had repeatedly blamed Joshua for the delay and had even suggested pursuing a trilogy against Oleksandr Usyk, who beat him twice in 2024.

Post-tragic accident
For Joshua, the bout comes after a turbulent period that included the deaths of two close friends and members of his team in a road crash in Nigeria last December.
Joshua was travelling on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when the vehicle he was in collided with a stationary truck, killing his strength and conditioning coach Sina Ghami and personal trainer Latif "Latz" Ayodele. Joshua sustained minor injuries.
The 2012 Olympic champion was born in Watford to Nigerian parents and has family roots in Sagamu, Ogun State. He had been in Nigeria to spend the festive period with relatives when the crash occurred.
Joshua enters the Fury fight as a two-time world heavyweight champion. He won the IBF title by stopping Charles Martin in 2016 before adding the WBA title with an 11th-round stoppage of former champion Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in 2017. He then defeated Joseph Parker on points in Cardiff in 2018 to add the WBO belt.
He has also shared the ring with some of the division's biggest names, including Oleksandr Usyk, who defeated him twice, and Daniel Dubois, who stopped him in the fifth round in 2024.
Fury, meanwhile, became a world champion by defeating Wladimir Klitschko on points in 2015. He later won the WBC title by stopping Deontay Wilder in their 2020 rematch after their first fight ended in a draw. He went on to stop Wilder again in their trilogy bout.
Fury has twice lost to Usyk, with their second defeat coming after the Ukrainian had already beaten him in their undisputed heavyweight championship bout.
Joshua has fought twice at the Principality Stadium, stopping Cameroonian-born Carlos Takam in 2017 before beating Parker on points the following year.
Fury and Joshua have been linked with a fight for more than a decade, with previous negotiations repeatedly collapsing over contractual and logistical issues.
