Dubois defends WBO title against Wardley, Opetaia-Wilder possible on Fury-Joshua

Daniel Dubois defends his WBO heavyweight title against Fabio Wardley in a rematch in London on 17 October. Dana White confirmed that Jai Opetaia could face Deontay Wilder on the undercard of Fury-Joshua on 11 December in Cardiff. The Principality Stadium has applied for a curfew extension to allow a ringwalk around 01:00 GMT on 12 December. Murat Gassiev said he was surprised by reports that his WBA title would be at stake between Fury and Joshua.

Sources diverge on Fury-Joshua date: British press reports 11 December, independent sources 11 December, Queensberry indicates 11 December with 1am ringwalk on the 12th.
