    Comments Thread For: Jai Opetaia losing patience in bid for unification with Chris Billam-Smith

    Jai Opetaia is close to giving up on his hopes of fighting Chris Billam-Smith in a cruiserweight unification title fight. Australia's IBF champion said his team have yet to hear back from Billam-Smith's advisors about an offer that was made in June by Riyadh Season for a bout in Saudi Arabia.

    You can take the boy out of Samoa but you can't take the Samoan out of the boy.

    Fight and leave the shït talk to others. It's a good look!

        CBS prefers milking that belt.
        It also suits McGuigans.

            Did you see Opetaia'a last fight a couple months back?!

            Chris Billam-Smith wants no part of Jai Opetaia, ever. Not even sure I can blame him lol.

              I like CBS but I doubt his team wants the Opetaia fight right now. Most likely an easy (or physically brutal) way to lose that WBO strap.

              From an economic angle, it might be worth it to milk a domestic fight first...he could fight Massey who's ranked #13 by the WBO.

                Chris Billam-Smith is shook. He doesn’t want that smoke, not even with a Saudi paycheck attached.

                  Opetai is currently suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control and CBS is a British boxer

                  The fight can't made

                  What's the point of talking about it?

                    Why is Jai suspended by British Boxing Board of Control. The first I've heard of this.
