Former world champion in the first heavyweight division Mairis Briedis expressed confidence that the IBF belt holder in this division Jay Opetaia can beat the owner of three titles in the super heavyweight category Oleksandr Usyk.

"If Usyk returns to heavyweight and meets Jay Opetaia, the Australian will defeat him - not just win, but completely destroy him.
Usyk has been working on increasing his weight and muscle mass for a long time, so losing them now will significantly weaken him. That's why I'm confident that Opetaia will beat Usyk," Daily Sports quoted Briedis as saying.
