Residents of Cardiff have raised concerns over plans to extend licensing hours for the eagerly anticipated heavyweight boxing clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, citing fears of noise, anti-social behaviour, traffic congestion and public safety, according to the BBC on Wednesday.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is scheduled to take place at the Principality Stadium on December 11, with the event expected to continue until 3am on December 12 to accommodate prime-time television audiences in the United States.

However, the stadium’s request to extend its licensing hours has attracted objections from residents living near the city-centre venue.

Cardiff Council’s licensing subcommittee is scheduled to consider the application on November 25.

Under the proposal, the stadium is seeking permission to continue licensed activities, including alcohol sales and music, until 3:00am, while the venue would remain open until 3:30am.

The stadium currently operates a 1:00am curfew when its roof is closed.

One resident living directly opposite the stadium expressed support for hosting the fight but called for additional measures to protect people living nearby.

In a representation submitted to the council, the resident said: “My representation relates to the prevention of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and disorder.”

The resident requested a dispersal plan for surrounding streets, with stewards remaining in place until crowds had cleared. The representation also called for an end to amplified outdoor music after midnight and completion of street cleaning by 8:00am on December 12.
