Jai Opetaia will defend his IBF World Cruiserweight Title against Jack Massey at Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Turning professional in 2015, Opetaia has maintained an unbeaten record across 25 fights with 19 knockouts. Most notably, he secured a unanimous decision against Mairis Briedis in May 2024. Massey, who turned pro in 2013, brings a record of 22 wins and two losses to the ring, recently winning against Isaac Chamberlain via unanimous decision. The distinct difference in their knockout power and consistency in winning might give Opetaia an edge. Considering both fighters' histories and styles – Opetaia's left-handed stance versus Massey's orthodox – this match will test their strengths in new ways.

Jack Massey is the underdog at +1180, pointing to a $1180 win on a $100 bet if he pulls off an upset. Odds suggest Opetaia might win by KO/TKO/DQ at -390; that's a higher probability than winning by points, quoted at +460.
