Netflix have formally announced the three fights that will feature on the main card of Tyson Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) vs. Anthony Joshua (30-4, 27 KOs).One of those three fights is the previously announced heavyweight clash between Deontay Wilder (45-4-1, 43 KOs) and Jai Opetaia (31-0, 24 KOs). The card also sees heavyweights Martin Bakole (21-2-1, 16 KOs) and Solomon Adebayo (15-0, 14 KOs) take on each other. Opening the main card will be Da’Mazion Vanhouter (14-0, 11 KOs) against Michael Essomba (11-2, 10 KOs), also at heavyweight. According to The Ring magazine, other undercard fights will be announced in due course.The bouts will feature on a Dec. 11 card promoted by Queensberry Promotions, Matchroom Boxing, and Sela. Fight fans around the world will be able to catch the action live on Netflix.The Big Fight Weekend verdict on the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua undercardThe fight card so far features a number of recognizable names. Wilder is a former heavyweight world champion who fought Fury three times. Opetaia is a former cruiserweight world champion and moves up in weight for Dec. 11. Bakole appears to be taking a step down as he fights someone who has only fought six opponents with winning records. Adebayo may be undefeated, but he will be in for a rough night against the Congolese fighter. Vanhouter fights for the fifth time in 2026, but will be facing someone even more untested than Adebayo (Essomba only has two wins against opponents with winning records).Interestingly, the card so far does not feature any British fighters outside of the main event. With the event taking place in the United Kingdom, it feels like organizers have decided not to take the opportunity to showcase fighters from there. Fury vs. Joshua is a fight of significance to the British boxing public. British fighters should absolutely be more involved in the event. The other undercard fights that will be announced in due course may feature British fighters, but they will not be on the main card portion of the event that gets broadcast on Netflix.Mandatory Credit: Mark RobinsonNOTHING BUT HEAVY HITTERS The all-heavyweight main card for #FuryJoshua is locked.
