Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight card: Pair of heavyweight fights added to Netflix show
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua meet in their long-awaited all-British clash in the Netflix headliner at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
- The fight at Cardiff's Principality Stadium is due to finish in the early hours to align with US primetime.
- It will be a five-week turnaround for Dana White's heavyweight prospect, who fights for the fifth time in 2026.
- Bakole (21-2-1, 16 KOs) established himself as the heavyweight division's boogeyman after his fifth-round upset knockout of Jared Anderson in August 2024.
Now, two more heavyweight fights have been added to the card.
Last week, it was announced that a battle of ex-world champions will take place in the co-feature, with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder fighting two-time IBF titlist Jai Opetaia.
- Bakole was stopped by Joseph Parker in two rounds on short notice in February 2025 when he stepped in for Daniel Dubois, and then fought to a draw against Efe Ajagba in May 2025.
- He fell short by majority decision to Mattar Garcia in 2024, but then put together two wins in 2025 before being outpointed by Angelo Morejon this past April.
- prospect Da'Mazion Vanhouter will make a quick turnaround to clash with Michael Essomba, while Martin Bakole returns to the ring against Solomon Adebayo.
- Boxing’s heavyweight division takes center stage on Dec.
- His record largely consists of unheralded opposition, and thus it will be a big step up for him against Bakole.
