Wilder Could Earn a Spot on the Fury vs Joshua Undercard
Boxing·October 9, 2026

Deontay Wilder may be heading for a place on the undercard of a Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight, a prospect that puts the former WBC heavyweight champion back in the frame for a high-profile night.
For now, this is still at the speculation stage. No confirmed details about the main event, the date, the venue or Wilder's role on the card have been released, so the report should be read as a possibility rather than a done deal.
A slot on a card of this profile would give Wilder a major platform at a time when his place in the division is less secure than it once was. He has been one of the most recognizable names in heavyweight boxing since winning the WBC title in 2015, and his trilogy with Fury, which produced a draw in 2018 and two defeats in the rematches, remains one of the most discussed rivalries of the past decade.
Any further confirmation from promoters or the fighters' camps would settle the question. Until then, fans should watch for official announcements before assuming Wilder will be on the bill.
