Brandon Glanton will challenge cruiserweight champ Jai Opetaia in "Zuffa Boxing 04" on Sunday at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas with an opportunity to make history.

"He’s got a few holes in his defence, and that could be his problem," says Mateusz Masternak.

BoxingScene has confirmed that Jai Opetaia and Brandon Glanton plan to weigh in a second time Sunday morning for a rehydration weight check customary with IBF title fights.

The former trainer of Jeff Fenech and Kostya Tszyu has backed Jai Opetaia to prove himself Australia’s finest ever fighter.

Cruiserweights Jai Opetaia and Brandon Glanton both weighed in inside the 200-pound limit this afternoon ahead of their fight Sunday in Las Vegas.

BoxingScene has confirmed that the IBF has withdrawn its sanctioning from Sunday’s “Zuffa Boxing 04” headliner between Jai Opetaia and Brandon Glanton. What now?

Jai Opetaia, the longtime lineal and Ring cruiserweight champion, remains focused on collecting all the belts – not just the ones recognized by his current promoter.

Zuffa Boxing’s intention to do things differently and better in the sport is being immediately put to the test by its union with cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia.

Establishing the rules as we go is the theme as Jai Opetaia’s 200lbs belt and a 135lbs title meant for the winner of William Zepeda-Lamont Roach Jnr hang in the balance.

Brandon Glanton’s former opponent Chris Billam-Smith has warned him he needs to start fast if he is to have any chance of succeeding on Sunday against Jai Opetaia.
