Australian Jai Opetaia defeated his opponent Mairis Briedis in July last year, in his last match to claim the IBF title. He now challenges Jordan Thompson , who last competed in an April TKO victory over Luke Watkins, for the title. This will be Thompson’s first time fighting for a world title.
“I want to collect all the Cruiserweight titles. I’m winning this fight, however it happens, it happens,” said Jai Opetaia (22-0) in media reports.
