We are all set for the IBF & Ring Magazine cruiserweight title fight between the champion Jai Opetaia (26-0, 20 KOs) and David Nyika (10-0, 9 KOs) as they both came under the 200-pound limit. The fight will stream on Wednesday via DAZN, and the winner will have even bigger fights later this year as there are a few unification options or maybe even a fight against unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Will the champion Opetaia have a successful defense, as he is the heavy odds favorite, or will Nyika put together the year’s first big upset?
