Division for this fightHeavyweightMoving up from cruiserweight

Opetaia, an Australian, has never lost as a professional and is taking the biggest step of his career by moving up a division against one of the hardest punchers heavyweight boxing has seen. Wilder, from Alabama, rebuilt his career with the win over Chisora after a run of defeats and is fighting for a way back into the heavyweight title picture.

The main event

Tyson Fury (36-2-1, 25 knockouts) faces Anthony Joshua (30-4, 27 knockouts) in a fight British boxing fans have waited on for most of a decade. More undercard bouts are expected to be announced, Sherdog said.

How to watch in Pakistan

  • Where: Netflix, included in the standard subscription; no separate pay-per-view has been announced.
  • When: the date in Cardiff is Friday 11 December. UK evening cards usually reach the main event late at night UK time, which is early Saturday morning in Pakistan (PKT is five hours ahead of the UK in December). We will add exact PKT ring-walk times when Netflix publishes the running order.
