Fury vs Joshua: British heavyweights arrive in London for news conference
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have both arrived in London before Wednesday’s launch news conference for their fight.
It appears the all-British heavyweight contest – more than a decade in the making – remains on for 11 December at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium following several days of uncertainty.
Fury, 38, has travelled back from the United States, where he had been at Walt Disney World Resort with his family, while Joshua, 36, has flown in from his training camp in Dubai.
Fury-Joshua was officially announced on Thursday by Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh, but doubts emerged 24 hours later amid a dispute over the role of UFC chief Dana White in the promotion.
Broadcaster Netflix said Alalshikh’s The Ring and White would collaborate to promote the event, but Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said his fighter’s contract prevented White from having a promotional role.
White said on Saturday night he did not know whether the fight – or Wednesday’s news conference – would happen. BBC Sport now understands he will not attend the launch.
A further potential hurdle emerged late on Monday over Fury’s enrolment in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (Vada) testing programme.
Fury’s manager Spencer Brown has since said Fury is now enrolled with Vada, appearing to resolve another issue before the launch.
Fury and Joshua have never fought despite several previous attempts to make the all-British contest.
Wednesday’s event at the British Airways ARC in Olympia will be the first time the pair have come face-to-face since the fight was officially announced, with a limited number of tickets also being made available to the public.

Who continues to show how important they are? – England player ratings
James Trafford: Made a good save in the second half. Trafford was very calm with the ball at his feet and showed his passing range which pleased Tuchel throughout. 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold: Started his first England game for nearly two years. Not much to do defensively but put in a great ball for the England opener. 7
Trevoh Chalobah: A shaky start from the centre back who lost possession a couple of times and lost out in challenges which frustrated manager Thomas Tuchel. But Chalobah settled and ensured England kept a clean sheet against 10-man Czech Republic. 6
Marc Guehi: The usual reliable performance from Guehi. England didn’t have much defending to do but he put in a couple of important blocks. 6
Lewis Hall: The left-back combined well with Anthony Gordon and offered a good outlet for England. Hall was a threat going forward and should have scored in the second half. 7
Elliot Anderson: Dominated the midfield, kept the ball ticking for England and won possession back the few times that the Czech Republic ventured forward. A mature performance. 7
Myles Lewis-Skelly: Started the game well and was given a lot of responsibility in England’s build up play. However, Lewis-Skelly was booked for a mis-timed tackle and then taken off at half time. 6
Morgan Rogers: Played Bukayo Saka through with a nice pass early on and hit the post twice. Not given much room by a Czech side who defended very deep. 6
Bukayo Saka: Not much of note to mark for Saka in what was a cagey match as England laboured when breaking down the Czech defence before Gordon’s goal. 6
Anthony Gordon: A constant threat in behind and put in a dangerous cross in the first half that deserved to end up with a goal. Scored the opener and continues to show why he is becoming so important for the Three Lions. 8
Harry Kane: A quieter night for Kane who dropped deep and went looking for the ball but the England captain still got on the score sheet with a good finish inside the area in the second half. 7
Subs:
Eberechi Eze (on 46, Lewis-Skelly): Added a spark to midfield. 6
Jude Bellingham (on 70, Kane): Took the captains armband and led the line. 6
Alex Scott (on 70, Anderson): Made his England debut. 6
Rio Ngumoha (on 71, Saka): His first thought was to go forward. 6
Morgan Gibbs-White (on 81, Gordon):
Subs not used: Pickford, Steele, Konsa, Branthwaite, Garner, Calvert-Lewin, Quansah
