Jai Opetaia is back on the hunt for another title challenger. For the second time in as many attempts, the unbeaten lineal and IBF cruiserweight champion has seen a mandatory title defense fall through the cracks. Richard Riakporhe is the latest to withdraw from an ordered fight, the development which was learned hours before a scheduled purse bid hearing was due to determine promotional rights.

[Clegg]

Purse bid was today, not sure how it was holding his career up by more than a few hours.

Did Jai not sign with matchroom cannot blame him

[anonymous2.0]

Just let him have a voluntary and be done with it

[tophat1]

They have form for this , why waste everyone's time and leave it till the day of thevpurse bids. Bad look for boxxer

[Mindkiller]

Jai is from the Gold Coast via Brisbane not Sydney. Surely after getting screwed around twice he is entitled to a voluntary now.

[M312]

Not again Ben

He will never let his boxers box when they are are likely to lose the purse.

Let's the boxers box.

What's his beef ? It can't be the money as the challenger can usually expect a 30% cut where it states here that Riakporhe was getting 40. Boxxer have to remember that as champion Jai's entitled to home town advantage & a larger slice of the cake.

Disappointing, I was looking forward to this one.
