Netflix has confirmed two additional heavyweight contests for the main card of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, which takes place on December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Martin Bakole will meet Solomon Adebayo, while Da'Mazion Vanhouter takes on Michael Essomba.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that US star Deontay Wilder will take on Australian Jai Opetaia in the 'co-main event'. The all-British battle between Fury and Joshua has some tickets still available.
Bakole and Vanhouter face unbeaten opponents
Congolese fighter Bakole (21-2-1, 16 KOs), who is based in Scotland, will return following a difficult start to 2025 which saw him suffer defeat to Joseph Parker and draw with Efe Ajagba within just three months. He faces unbeaten Nigerian Adebayo (15-0, 14 KOs), who claimed the WBA Africa Heavyweight Championship in 2023.
American Vanhouter (14-0, 11 KOs), the event's youngest competitor at just 21, will square off against Belgium's Michael Essomba (11-2, 10 KOs), 13 years his senior.

Despite less than a month remaining until the bout, tickets remain on sale through several outlets. Among the retailers still selling tickets is Seat Unique, the 'official hospitality partner' of the event. Prices for each Seat Unique package may shift in the days and weeks leading up to the event but currently begin at £275 per person for upper-tier seats.
