Opetaia, the reigning cruiserweight titleholder, moves up to heavyweight to face former WBC champion Deontay Wilder on the December 11 undercard.
Deontay Wilder will face Jai Opetaia on December 11, in a heavyweight bout slotted as the co-feature to Tyson Fury's clash with Anthony Joshua on Netflix.
The matchup puts three of the heavyweight division's biggest names from the past decade on the same card. Opetaia currently holds the cruiserweight title and is stepping up in weight to take on Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champion.
Wilder, 41, has a long history with Fury, having lost the final two bouts of their trilogy to the Englishman. Now he gets a chance to stay relevant in the heavyweight picture on the same night Fury and Joshua finally meet.
The full card is shaping up as a marquee night for the sport, bringing together fighters whose careers have intersected for years. No further details on the rest of the undercard have been announced.
