Deontay Wilder will face Jai Opetaia on the December 11 boxing card headlined by Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, giving US viewers another bout on the same Netflix stream. The event takes place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday, December 11.
Netflix has added the matchup to its official fight card. The broadcaster says the event will be available globally to all members at no additional cost. US subscribers can watch through their existing membership, including the ad-supported plan.
What is included in the stream
The announced card pairs Fury with Joshua and Wilder with Opetaia. Netflix has not presented those two bouts as the complete lineup and says more fights will be announced.
Wilder is an American heavyweight from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who held the WBC heavyweight title from 2015 to 2020 and won an Olympic bronze medal in 2008. Opetaia is an Australian cruiserweight moving up to heavyweight for this contest. The confirmed addition follows earlier reports that the matchup was being discussed.
Fury and Joshua appeared together at a September 30 press conference in London, according to Netflix's main-event announcement. The headliners were established before this week's undercard addition.
Start time and extra charges
A US start time has not been announced. Netflix's live-event schedule still lists the December 11 event's Eastern and Pacific times as TBA.
For new US subscribers, Netflix's current monthly prices are $8.99 for Standard with ads, $19.99 for Standard and $26.99 for Premium, before applicable taxes. Bundles and add-ons may have different terms. Netflix bills memberships monthly and does not offer an annual plan. All three plans include live events without a separate event charge. Standard with ads and Standard each allow two supported devices at a time. Premium allows four.
An ad-free plan does not guarantee an uninterrupted live broadcast. Netflix says live and special events can contain commercial breaks across all plans.
Devices and replay access
Netflix supports live viewing on most newer smart TVs, streaming players, phones, tablets, computers and game consoles. The app and device software must support livestreaming.
First-, second- and third-generation Chromecast devices and Chromecast Ultra do not support Netflix livestreams. Chromecast with Google TV models do. Casting from a Chrome browser to a television is also unsupported.
Viewers can pause, rewind, start from the beginning or jump back to the live stream. On devices that cannot stream live, Netflix says most events typically become available a few days later. Some events remain available for only a limited time.
