Organisers say Tyson Fury’s fight against Anthony Joshua would likely need an early-morning start time if the bout is staged at Wembley Stadium. Multiple reports state that a 2am start is being discussed to accommodate event scheduling for a Wembley date in London. One report instead references a 1am start as a possible alternative, suggesting uncertainty over the final start time if the fight proceeds at the venue. BBC Sport says the proposed heavyweight bout could be held overnight at Wembley, indicating the fight would take place in the early hours rather than the evening. Organiser Turki Alalshikh is reported as stating that an overnight slot is necessary for Wembley. Separate coverage also reports that Anthony Joshua would not object to a 2am start, provided the fight can be arranged in the UK at Wembley. The reporting collectively frames the early-morning timing as a practical requirement tied to the venue and broader scheduling, rather than an preference from one fighter.
