More heavyweight fights added to Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to battle in a monumental fight at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 11 December. This will be the centerpiece of an undercard packed with heavyweight bouts. Deontay Wilder will face Jai Opetaia, marking Opetaia's divisional debut after he recently secured the cruiserweight title. Wilder, 41, is an undefeated fighter who was previously unbeaten until his defeats by Fury in 2020 and 2021. Opetaia, 31, remains unbeaten throughout his career.

Two additional heavyweight bouts have also been added to the card. Martin Bakole, a Scottish fighter with roots in the Democratic Republic of Congo, will take on Solomon Adebayo. Bakole, 21-2-1 with 16 knockouts, has a history of success against top division fighters in sparring. However, his prospects were tarnished in February when he was knocked out in two rounds by Joseph Parker. Bakole has since drawn with Efe Ajagba.

Adebayo, an unbeaten Nigerian prospect, is 15-0 with 14 knockouts to his name. He is set to compete against Ivan Magumba in Nairobi on 28 November, though his match may be canceled due to the addition of his bout to the main card. The youngest fighter on the lineup is 21-year-old Da'Mazion Vanhouter, the American boxer who will face 34-year-old Belgian Michael Essomba.

Vanhouter boasts a perfect record of 14-0 (11 knockouts), while Essomba has a professional record of 11-2 (10 knockouts). The highlight of the undercard is undoubtedly the clash between Wilder and Opetaia.
