What time is Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis tonight? Ringwalks, schedule, streaming links

Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis will compete for the vacant IBF World Cruiser title at Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight at 12:00 PM EST. This match acts as an undercard prior to the main event featuring Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury.

Both boxers carry impressive records into this bout. Jai Opetaia turned professional in 2015 and maintains an undefeated score with 24 wins, including 19 by knockout. His most recent victory was against Ellis Zorro last December. Mairis Briedis, having started his professional journey in 2009, also boasts a strong record with 28 wins and only two losses up until his last fight in July against Opetaia.

Considering their previously contested match where Opetaia beat Briedis on points, the upcoming rematch could provide Briedis a chance to overturn past outcomes in light of his rich experience across more bouts than Opetaia. Yet, Opetaia's consistent knockout power and younger edge might significantly influence the dynamics of this fight.
