Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will throw hands with The Ring and Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight titleholder Jai Opetaia as part of the upcoming Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight card on Sat., Dec. 11, 2026 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, streaming exclusively on Netflix.
“Don’t let the smile fool you, the weapon still works!” Wilder said. “Years in the game and the hunger still feels like day one every round left something in me and took something from me but
through every victory, every setback, and every scar. The warrior remained! Some people train to get ready; warriors stay ready.”
The 41-year-old Wilder (45-4-1, 43 KOs) is coming off back-to-back victories over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon and Derek Chisora. As for the 31-year-old Opetaia (31-0, 21 KOs), he continued his winning ways by stopping Armenian bruiser Norair Mikaeljan earlier this year in Las Vegas, though he did it without his IBF title.
As for the event itself … good luck getting tickets.
