Former IBF world champion in the first heavyweight division Jai Opetaya announced his readiness to share the ring with the holder of the WBA title in the division below Dmitry Bivol.

Previously Bivol admitted, that Saudi Arabian Minister Turki Al al-Sheikh offered him a fight with the Australian.

“I would definitely agree to this fight. I have great respect for Bivol. Dmitry is one of my favorite fighters at the moment. I like his style. I think that he and I can put on a fight that fans will watch again and again. We can make a mark in history,” Opetaya said in an interview with talkSPORT Boxing.

Let us remember that on December 23 in Riyadh, Opetaia knocked out Ellis Zorro in the first round. During the same boxing evening, Bivol won points over Lyndon Arthur.
