    No way Riakporhe fighting so soon again

    Hope Saudi money gets to Goulamirian so that Jai can start unifying

    I doubt Mikaelyan is available either as he just fought

    Other than that it can be:

    Brieids rematch

    Okolie

    I hope Jai will be fighting on 23rd because he has the skills, power, a very fan friendly style going by his last fight, & has the potential to be a big star

    Will happen in time

    Right now priority is to get Jai's name out. He is still relatively unknown for such a skilled Boxer with a fan friendly style & isn't getting the fights he wants due to promotional politics, Saudi money can change that

    Hope he is fighting on Dec 23 with a decent opponent

    I'll believe all of this when I see them step into the ring.

    Jordan Thompson is ready and willing to rematch Jai on that date

    Supposedly Kovalev could be Jai's opponent on the Saudi card. Sergey is one of my favorite fighters, but things won't go well for him if he does face Opetaia in December.

    Let's hope not for Sergey's health, sport doesn't need more punch drunk Boxers out on the streets after they lost everything

    Hopefully its someone more decent like Ngabu or Tishchenko as someone was suggesting in another thread

    All the other decent CW's r occupied except Okolie

    Then there is this

    Want to see Jai against a top 10 CW really as everyone has been avoiding him & hoping Saudi money changes that

    Thompson learned an awful lot that night and that lack of experience was the only missing piece of the jigsaw. If he can combine that experience with his philosophy of artistic violence Jai will be in a world of trouble.
