The Australian could have a rematch with Mairis Briedis
IBF cruiserweight title holder Jai Opetaya is negotiating a fight on the undercard of the double boxing evening of ex-world heavyweight champions Deontay Wilder And Anthony Joshua.
The Australian’s opponent has not yet been determined. Potentially, Opetaya could have a rematch with former IBF belt holder Mairis Briedis.
Let us remember that Briedis lost to Opeta in July 2022, losing his title. Negotiations for a rematch between the boxers have stalled due to disagreements over the distribution of prize money. The IBF is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Opetaia-Briedis fight on November 21st.
Let us remind you that Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua intend to hold a boxing evening in Saudi Arabia on December 23 with separate fights between the former world champions. The American’s opponent should be Joseph Parker, AJ will fight with Otto Wallin.
British heavyweight Daniel Dubois is expected to take part in the undercard of the boxing show. Among potential opponents, the British team is considering Dereck Chisora and Jarell Miller.
