IBF world champion Jay Opetaya spoke about modern cruiserweight and the interest of representatives of Saudi Arabia in the division.

“Sheikhs really like my style and want to involve me more often in big boxing nights. There was not such a big hype around heavyweight even when Oleksandr Usyk was performing here. Back then, it was difficult to sell cruiserweight fights to the American audience,” Opetaia said.

Australian Jay Opetaia, previously undefeated in the professional ring, said that he would like to fight with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, the owner of the WBC, WBA, IBO and WBO belts in the future.
