Deontay Wilder will co-headline Fury-Joshua Netflix card vs. undefeated opponent

Deontay Wilder will face Jai Opetaia in Cardiff, Wales in December.

In December, former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will co-headline the Tyson Fury – Anthony Joshua card on Netflix. The Australian Jai Opetaia, an undefeated 31-0 fighter, will face Wilder in the co-headlining bout. Opetaia, who won the vacant WBA (regular) cruiserweight title in September, will move up in weight to fight the 41-year-old Wilder.

Wilder recently won a split decision against Derek Chisora in April after a losing streak to Fury in 2020 and 2025. Both the Fury-Joshua and Wilder-Opetaia bouts will be streamed exclusively on Netflix on December 11.
