I think that’s going to be decided by Netflix and Turki Al-Sheikh, it’s my understanding it will be around 1am, 1.30am, but again, if it creeps to 2am, I don’t know,’ Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said last month. ‘Friday night, perfect for people to get down there, travel after work, it’s quite unique because on a Saturday boxing would start around 4pm, 5pm, so you’re really looking at the boxing starting at 8pm or 9pm.

Joshua meanwhile fought at a sold-out Wembley in 2024 against Daniel Dubois, his third fight at the home of English football. Joshua has previously fought twice at the Principality in 2017 and 2018, defending his world titles against Carlos Takam before adding another to his collection after beating Jospeh Parker.   Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
