The greater issue is that Opetaia could fight a more formidable contender, but it wouldn’t improve his marquee value or standing. There’s seemingly no incentive or external pressure to take on a tougher foe, unless it’s a unification. Additionally, the IBF isn’t being proactive in forcing their contenders to weed each other out<\/p>\n

Jai prefers to continuously fight the worst guy he can get away with fighting without being stripped.<\/p>\n
Except for Briedis twice, his resume is Rolly Romero-tier.<\/p>\n

Oh no, I was really looking forward to another historic ‘interim’ title fight with an unknown quantity as one of the opponents.<\/p>\n
In all seriousness, the obvious fight to make while Zurdo is injured is Jai – CBS. Sanctioning body politics are creating obstacles in all divisions.<\/p>\n

Nothing ever happens at cruiserweight.<\/p>\n
Opetaia keeps fighting no-hopers, Zurdo is hurt, Badou Jack is in some kind of WBC tournament groundhog day nonsense, CBS can’t even get a fight.<\/p>\n
