Deontay Wilder will face Jai Opetaia in a newly announced bout added to the highly anticipated boxing extravaganza headlined by Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, set to stream on Netflix. The matchup was revealed Wednesday by SB Nation's Jesse Holland, expanding what is already shaping up as a major fight card.
Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champion, returns to the ring against Opetaia, the undefeated IBF cruiserweight titleholder moving up in weight. The Fury-Joshua event, long rumored and now taking form, continues to add significant fights to its undercard.
No date or venue for the overall event has been confirmed, though the Netflix streaming partnership signals a major distribution deal for the promotion.
