Cardiff keen to stage Fury-Joshua fightImage source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyImage caption, The Principality Stadium has previously hosted several high-profile boxing fights, including Anthony JoshuaPublished58 minutes agoPrincipality Stadium bosses say they are ready to host the proposed heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in Cardiff.Saudi power broker Turki Alalshikh, who is co-ordinating the all-British bout, wants to stage the eagerly awaited contest in the UK, but at a time to maximise a global TV audience.If the fight between former world champions was to suit prime-time audiences in the United States, the main event could start as late as 04:00 GMT.That would mean Wembley Stadium, the preferred option, would require special permission from the local London authority to remain open beyond the usual 23:00 curfew.
But if Wembley cannot stay open, the Welsh Rugby Union is now ready to step in.
