Tyson Fury faces Anthony Joshua in an all-British heavyweight clash at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in December. American Deontay Wilder and Australian Jai Opetaia have been added to the undercard as the co-main event. Opetaia, the unbeaten WBA 'regular' cruiserweight champion, will step up to heavyweight for the first time to face Wilder.
The bout will feature the WBA 'super' heavyweight title on the line. Wilder, 41, seeks to re-establish himself among the elite after losses to Fury and a knockout defeat by Zhilei Zhang in June 2024. Opetaia, 31, aims for a fresh challenge after years of dominance at cruiserweight.
Tickets sold out in under an hour, with ringwalks expected around 01:00 GMT on Saturday, 12 December. Joe Cordina is thought to be in negotiations to face Manny Pacquiao on the undercard.
