IBF world champion in the first heavyweight division Jai Opetaya expressed interest in a fight with the holder of the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles in the heavyweight division Oleksandr Usyk.
āI need unification fights for the belts in the first heavyweight division because I want to become the absolute world champion and then move to heavyweight.
I have been working towards this for a long time, taking on additional tasks along the way. I do not plan to be torn between categories, so if I move to heavyweight, thatās where I will stay. I would like to fight Usyk, that is one of my goals. But for now, I am thinking about unification fights. As soon as I reach the finish line, I want to meet with Usyk for the title of absolute champion in heavyweight,ā Opetaya is quoted by BoxingScene.
Let us remind you that last weekend Opetaya successfully defended his title by knocking out Italian Claudio Scheo.
