The fight card for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua has been confirmed, and boxing fans are set for an evening packed with heavyweight action. On December 11, the long-standing rivals will clash in an all-British battle at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, with some tickets still available.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that US star Deontay Wilder will take on Australian Jai Opetaia in the ‘co-main event’, and now Netflix has confirmed two additional heavyweight contests for the main card. Martin Bakole will meet Solomon Adebayo, while Da’Mazion Vanhouter takes on Michael Essomba.
Congolese fighter Bakole (21-2-1, 16 KOs), who is based in Scotland, will return following a difficult start to 2025 which saw him suffer defeat to Joseph Parker and draw with Efe Ajagba within just three months. He faces unbeaten Nigerian Adebayo (15-0, 14 KOs), who claimed the WBA Africa Heavyweight Championship in 2023.
American Vanhouter (14-0, 11 KOs), the event’s youngest competitor at just 21, will square off against Belgium’s Michael Essomba (11-2, 10 KOs), 13 years his senior. Despite less than a month remaining until the once-in-a-generation bout, tickets remain on sale through several outlets.
