I don't want to see a rematch, he is 40 and I want to see him become two weight champion, so I think he needs to move up, take a new challenge and beat any CW champion before he retires.
I don't think Artur at this age wants to be fighting Jai, dude is a beast. That said, Opetai struggled with Breidis twice which could potentially give Artur some hope, but I feel it would be really hard for Beterbiev to get in range and think Opetati would win, possibly by stoppage.
Do you realize that he is smaller than Callum smith and Beterbiev has a good experience fighting bigger guys, who are there to get punched ? I want to see that challenge, not Bivol moving around the ring for 12 rounds, without hurting anybody badly.
Smith never fought tall and he was tailor made for Beterbiev IMO. Jai is an entirely different proposition to Callum Smith! Not sure if serious!
His trainer said that they need a new challenge, so I don't see why he can't move up and beat more stationary champions, his power and skills are still there.
Maybe, but still not someone who moves a lot and has a good defence, he gets hit a lot and with Beterbievs power and skill of setting the traps, I see a good challenge for him.
