Jai Opetaia might meet Noel Mikaelian in a cruiserweight world title unification with the WBC’s backing.
Opetaia is the unbeaten IBF world champion and has impressed with two victories over Mairis Briedis in addition to placing collectively a sequence of gorgeous knockout wins.
Mikaelian is the WBC belt-holder and confronted off with Opetaia on the first Zuffa Boxing occasion.
Zuffa is a brand new boxing promotion firm that has just lately signed Opetaia. The Australian can have his first combat below their banner on March 8.
With a change of American laws, Zuffa might arrange a substitute for the normal world-title sanctioning our bodies and develop into a unified boxing organisation that administers its personal belts and rankings.
However the WBC wouldn’t hinder an eventual Opetaia versus Mikaelian unification bout.
