Wilder vs Opetaia Is Official For Cardiff, Wales As A 95 Percent Knockout Rate Meets An Unbeaten 31-0 Record

A 95 percent knockout rate is about to meet a perfect 31-0 record. Dana White has made Wilder vs Opetaia official, and the fight is headed to Cardiff, Wales.

White announced it himself with a loud "BOOOOOM" and laid out the stakes in one line: Deontay Wilder has stopped almost everyone he has faced, and Opetaia has never lost a fight. Something has to give.

That is the whole appeal. One man ends nights early and has built a name on a single right hand. The other has gone 31 fights without a defeat. Fans love to argue which of those two things is harder to stop, and now they get an answer.

White also used the announcement to point to what is coming next on the calendar: Fury vs Joshua is live on December 11th on Netflix.

The date for Wilder vs Opetaia was not part of the announcement, so keep an eye on Dana White's page for it. Cardiff has its main event. Now comes the wait to see whose record survives.
