The times above are for the expected 1:00 AM UK ring walk. The fight contract allows the main event to walk out no later than 2:00 AM UK time, so the start can move by up to an hour on the night.
Is the 1:00 AM Ring Walk Confirmed?
Not yet. The Principality Stadium’s licence normally ends boxing at 1:00 AM, so the stadium operator has asked Cardiff Council for a one-off extension to 3:00 AM, with the venue open until 3:30 AM. The public comment period ended on November 3, 2026. Under UK licensing rules, the council must grant the change if no relevant objections were made; if there were objections, a hearing decides. This page is updated as soon as the decision is announced.
