Cardiff residents object to late finish for Fury v Joshua boxing match

Local residents have raised concerns over plans for the Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fight in Cardiff to finish at 3am to suit US viewers.

Residents living near the Principality Stadium in Cardiff have submitted objections to Cardiff Council regarding a licensing extension for the upcoming heavyweight boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua on 11 December. The event is scheduled to finish at 03:00 GMT to align with prime-time viewing in the United States, prompting worries about noise, traffic, anti-social behaviour, and public safety. While some locals support the event for the economic boost and tourism it could bring to the city centre, others have called for the application to be rejected or for strict conditions such as dispersal plans and limits on amplified music to protect nearby families from late-night disturbances.
