Heavy-hitting fighters with 67 knockouts between them add big excitement to Fury vs Joshua undercard

Two huge names have been added to the undercard of the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight at the Principality Stadium, in Cardiff.

Heavy-hitting American Deontay Wilder and undefeated Australian cruiserweight star Jai Opetaia will go toe to toe on December 11, adding an extra dimension to what will be an incredible night for British fight fans.

Southpaw Opetaia is stepping up to heavyweight for the first time, having been unbeaten at cruiserweight.

Even though Wilder is, at 41 years old, a decade older than Opetaia, he still packs a tremendous punch.

Wilder is a very dangerous fighter and of his 45 professional wins, 43 came by technical knockout.

It promises to be a truly enthralling contest, pitting the cruiserweight campion taking a chance against a heavyweight who remains one of the biggest punchers in the division.
