Fury-Joshua 1 a.m. Ring Walk Hinges on Nov. 25 Cardiff Hearing

Whether Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua walk to the ring at about 1 a.m. in Cardiff now sits with a Cardiff Council licensing subcommittee, which meets Nov. 25.

Principality Stadium, through Millennium Stadium plc, has applied to extend its premises licence so licensed activity — including boxing, music and the sale of alcohol — can run until 3 a.m. on Dec. 12, with the venue remaining open until 3:30 a.m. The application, reported by Sky Sports, ESPN and BoxingScene, schedules the main-event ring walks for around 1 a.m., after a short live music performance. The fight is billed for Friday, Dec. 11; those timings would put the main event in the early hours of Saturday.

The stadium's usual curfew when the roof is closed is 1 a.m., BBC and ESPN reported. Sky Sports described the request as a one-off variation, sought to accommodate a late start aimed at U.S. prime time on Netflix.

Residents have objected, citing noise, disorder, traffic and public safety. BBC reported that one neighbor who supports the event asked for conditions including stewards remaining until crowds disperse, no amplified music outside the stadium after midnight, and streets cleared of litter by 8 a.m. Others asked the council to refuse the application. The subcommittee can approve the variation, add conditions, or reject all or part of it, under the process described by BBC and Sky Sports.

BoxingScene and ESPN, citing the application, wrote that alcohol sales at concourse bars would stop at 1 a.m., while hospitality areas could serve until 3 a.m. BoxingScene also reported that organizers are "optimistic" the extension will be granted; that assessment is the outlet's, not a public statement from the promoters or the council.

There is late-night precedent at the venue: BBC and BoxingScene noted that Joe Calzaghe vs. Mikkel Kessler in 2007 did not start until 2 a.m. to satisfy a U.S. broadcaster.

The Dec. 11 card at Principality Stadium is already on the calendar, with Wilder vs. Opetaia as the official co-main. For the fight that is booked, you can log a pick in Fight Picker. We also recently covered promoters talking about what might come after Dec. 11 — talk that remains unbooked.
