Britons Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will fight for the title of super champion in heavyweight according to the World Boxing Association (WBA), reports The Ring.

The WBA Super belt in late June was released by Ukrainian Alexander Usyk, who defeated both Britons twice in his career. After the decision of Usyk, the Boxing Federation of Russia reported that Murat Gassiev became the full-fledged WBA heavyweight world champion (he owned the belt of the regular champion). On the WBA website, Gassiev is listed as a world champion.

Fury and Joshua will fight in Cardiff on 11 December.

Fury in 2015-2016 was the absolute world champion, as well as the WBC champion in 2020-2024.

Joshua owned the WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
