However, he does not I am sure that this fight could take place in the near future.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Independet.
IBF world champion in the first heavyweight division Jay Opetaia expressed desire to enter the ring against the holder of the WBC, WBO, WBA and IBO heavyweight titles, Oleksandr Usyk.
The Australian boxer admitted that a fight with the Ukrainian champion is his cherished dream. However, according to Opetai, before that he intends to focus on unifying the titles in his weight category. Despite his great desire to fight Usyk, Opetaia noted that organizing such a fight at this stage is unlikely.
«I want this fight, 100%, but I have work to do in the next fight. I'm training for the cruiserweight title unification fights right now, that's all I can think about. The fight against Usyk is something else if it happens. Obviously it's a fight I can only dream of, so it would be great. We would sit down with the team and make this decision, but right now these are just rumors,” said 29-year-old Opetaia.
Recall that earlier it was reported that Usyk “mowed down” the entire heavyweight division: Joshua's promoter has found him a worthy opponent.
