Welsh boxing twins Garan and Ioan Croft are aiming to secure spots on the undercard for the highly anticipated Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight in Cardiff. The much-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown is set to take place at the Principality Stadium on December 11.
Both brothers, who are signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom promotion, have made it clear they are eager to feature on this major event following Garan’s recent triumph. “We both want to fight on the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury undercard in Cardiff,” Garan expressed. “It would be fantastic to have Welsh fighters like me and Ioan showcased on that card. Fighting there would be a dream come true, and our management is working hard to make it happen.”
The Croft twins gained attention at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where Garan earned a bronze medal at light-middleweight, while Ioan took home gold in the welterweight division. Garan continued his unbeaten streak with a swift 90-second knockout of Italian boxer Mohammed Graich in Manchester. Both twins currently hold undefeated 7-0 professional records.
“I didn’t learn much from beating Graich — I’ve had my learning fights — now it’s about making a statement,” Garan commented. “I’m prepared for bigger challenges and hopefully a bigger stage this December.”
Fan Take: This news excites fight fans as it highlights rising talent ready to step onto one of boxing’s biggest stages, adding fresh intrigue to an already historic card. Bringing the Croft twins into the spotlight could energize Welsh boxing and introduce formidable new contenders to the heavyweight and welterweight landscapes.
