The expected timings for Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s highly anticipated heavyweight boxing clash have been revealed.<\/p>\n

The bout – one of the biggest in British boxing history – is set to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 11 December.<\/p>\n

An application to Cardiff Council revealed the ring walk is planned to start at around 01:00 GMT after a short live music performance, and the stadium will remain open until 03:30.<\/p>\n

Despite the choice of venue being confirmed in September, required changes to its premises licence to allow the early-hours fight to go ahead have yet to be secured.<\/p>\n

The application comes after the contest – more than a decade in the making – was confirmed after several days of uncertainty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a bid to obtain the necessary permissions, Millennium Stadium Plc has applied to the council to extend timings at the venue “on a very limited one-off occasion”.<\/p>\n

The application seeks to extend permitted hours for boxing and wrestling entertainment from an existing cut off of 01:00 to 03:00 on 12 December.<\/p>\n

The council said this was to facilitate “the proposed Anthony Joshua v Tyson Fury bout, with the ring walk commencing at 01:00”.<\/p>\n

The licence variation seeks an extension to play live music until 03:00 on the same date, with a short live performance immediately before the ring walk. <\/p>\n

It also proposes an extension for recorded music, late-night refreshment and the supply of alcohol until 03:00, with the stadium closing time being moved to 03:30.<\/p>\n

The applicants added that the roof would be shut throughout the event, and enhanced security and stewarding arrangements would be in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The expected timings for Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s highly anticipated heavyweight boxing clash have been revealed.
