There are no right-handed boxers in the Gypsy King camp
Former IBF world cruiserweight champion Jay Opetaya left training camp WBC champion Tyson Fury.
Jay spent 5 rounds of sparring with Tyson in Saudi Arabia. But with no right-handed boxers in the British camp, Opetaja returned to Australia. Note that Fury’s opponent is the left-handed Usyk, but Opetaye will have to fight the right-handed Briedis.
On the undercard of the Usyk-Fury fight, Opetaya will fight another ex-champion, Mairis Briedis. Previously, the Australian refused to defend his belt against the Latvian. Jay chose to fight Ellis Zorro as part of the “Day of Reckoning” event, which took place on December 23, which brought him a fee of 450 thousand dollars.
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the fight was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh. However, it later became clear that the “Gypsy King” would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
