Jai Opetaya (22-0, 17 KOs) will defend his IBF world heavyweight title against Jordan Thompson (15-0, 12 KOs) September 30 at Wembley Arena in London. Also on the undercard, Ellie Scotney (7-0) will defend her IBF super bantamweight title against Laura Griffa.

Prior to this, the IBF has indefinitely suspended scheduled promotional bidding to determine the organizer of Opetai's rematch against Mairis Briedis. In July, Opetaya defeated a boxer from Latvia by unanimous decision.
