Strickland Wants More, Wilder May Join Fury-Joshua Card, Dmitry Bivol Set to Defend Titles

By Fight Sports 2 days ago

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland reportedly signed a six-fight deal worth more than $1 million per fight before winning the title, but now he wants more and has floated the idea of moving into boxing rather than MMA. Pending final approval, Deontay Wilder has accepted an offer to face cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia on the Fury vs. Joshua undercard on December 11. Dmitry Bivol will defend his unified light heavyweight titles against Callum Smith on December 12 in Russia, with a possible trilogy fight against Artur Beterbiev on the line.
