Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will fight for the WBA world heavyweight championship when they box on December 11, confirmed Frank Warren.

British rivals Fury and Joshua will meet in a long-awaited showdown at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and now the WBA 'super' or primary title will be on the line.

It is a surprise move as the WBA already has a 'regular' titlist in Murat Gassiev who expected to be elevated to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.

Both Fury and Joshua previously lost their world title belts to Usyk. Now they have the chance to reclaim a championship they have held in years gone by.

"That is the case at the moment. That's going to be on the line," Warren, who promotes Fury, told Sky Sports News.
