Opetaia is going to have to move up without unifying, isn’t he?

    It’s not talked about enough how Zurdo is ducking Jai and not allowing him to become Undisputed. It’s absolutely shameful, a black mark on the sport. Unify or vacate.

    Bivol and Beterbiev aren’t pathetic cowards like Zurdo, CBS and Jack are.

    Opetaia reiterates that he isn't going to be rushed to heavyweight and that he has had verbal agreement from Badou Jack that they will fight next year if they both get through their mandated fights. Likely in Saudi.

    He also says that Saudi and his team are aligned in wanting Jack, followed by Ramirez and then Benavidez moving up to fight him.

    Zurdo will fight Opetaia, and then people like you will forget that you called him a coward and a duck.

    Can't see anyone at cruiser beating opetaia. And losses against opetaia are violent. So no surprise that promoters want a heap of money to send their champion fighters to fight with opetaia. If opetaia was british or us-american and did a bit of social media he would already be a Superstar and making those fights would be way easier.

    Of course it’s a duck. Stevie Wonder can see that.
