Comments Thread For: Jai Opetaia To Land on Feb. 17 Fury-Usyk Undercard; Will Train With Fury Ahead Of Championship Defense

Impressive that Jai is taking another fight in
two months, wonder who is his opponent.

Like I understand his opponent was stopped inside a round, but Zorro was a experienced undefeated fighter.

Zorro was never ready to fight Opetaia. It's probably ruined his career and wasn't even for a world title. Hopefully he got huge money and he'll come back

Hopefully he gets Goulamirian, Billam-Smith, or Mikaelian. Ridiculous that there are so many belt holders while the legitimate lineal/Ring/TBRB Champion of the world doesn't have one.

I doubt it's a belt holder on 5 weeks notice.

Agree it's terrible that he was stripped. I think it's actually put him in a decent position though. He's recognised as the man of the division by everywhere that counts now without sanctioning fee costs and an alphabet organisation trying to force compliance with their rules.

He's free to fight whoever he wants as regularly as he wants which is ideal whilst the Saudi money is flowing into the sport. Nobody else will be able to lay claim to being the best in the division until they've faced him either.

That's top class sparring for Fury.
