Deontay Wilder may be set for another major heavyweight night, with Sky Sports News suggesting the former WBC champion could take a bout on the Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua card at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11.
It would be a notable addition to an already high-profile event. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's long-awaited super-bout is scheduled for Cardiff, and any appearance by Wilder would bring another major name into the same show.
Wilder's name returns to the heavyweight conversation
The key point here is that Wilder is being linked to the card, rather than officially confirmed for it. That distinction matters. At this stage, the reporting suggests possibility, not finality.
Wilder has remained a figure of interest in the division for some time. He has been long linked with Anthony Joshua and frequently linked with Oleksandr Usyk, which is part of why any new move involving his name still carries obvious weight.
There is also recent form to note. In April, Deontay Wilder beat Derek Chisora on points, a result that kept him in the heavyweight frame. If he does appear on the Cardiff bill, it would add another experienced operator to a card already built around two of the sport's biggest names.
What the Cardiff card already offers
The December 11 event is already a major one because Fury and Joshua are due to meet at Principality Stadium. That alone would make it one of the most significant nights on the boxing calendar.
Elsewhere in the wider boxing picture, there have been other developments across the sport. Earlier this year, Osleys Iglesias beat Pavel Silyagin to claim the vacant IBF super-middleweight title, then defended it in April against Oliver Zaren and won in seven rounds. Earlier this year, Andy Cruz lost to Raymond Muratalla for the IBF crown, having also beaten Abraham Montoya. In 2026, Artur Subkhankulov has scored double stoppages, while by October 20, Andy Cruz and Artur Subkhankulov had been given time to agree terms for their IBF lightweight contest.
But the focus here remains Wilder. If the card does come together as suggested, it would underline just how much heavyweight interest is being packed into one night in Cardiff.
The immediate answer is that Wilder is not yet presented as a confirmed participant, only as a possible addition. The date and venue, however, are clear: December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
