You know anything about Nyika
The only name I recognize is Karpency on his ledger but an Aussie told me he’s tough as nails and after the last few showings , Jai looks to be struggling with stamina

Yeah, I've watched some tape on him. He was on the under for the first Fury - Usyk fight, if you recall. Not sure if I want to pick early or mid, but as you say, Opetaia might have stamina issues. Big step up in competition for Nyika. I think he gets hit too much to last against a big puncher like Opetaia, and we saw how being tough as defense works with the big boys with Joe Joyce. Not counting him out though. I'm still not sold on Opetaia, or the CW division in general right now.

I assume all the multipliers have been reset? And I'm still able to help you guys out with whatever you need to keep this going. Just point the way when needed.
