According to The Ring magazine, IBF Cruiserweight Champion Mairis Briedis (28-1, 20 KO) will have his next fight in March in Australia against the local crowd favorite Jaya Opetayi (21-0, 17 KO). Opetaya is currently a mandatory contender for the Briedis belt.
“We're going to Australia,” Briedis said. - As we were told, Australia is showing great interest in the fight. This event will be paid broadcast. The Australians are very excited to have the world's best heavyweight take on the undefeated Australian, it should be fun. "
Mairis Briedis won the IBF title last September by defeating Yuniel Dorticos in the WBSS final. Two months ago, he defended the trophy for the first time by defeating Arthur Mann.
