An agreement is reached: Matchroom confirms OPTAIA VS. Cyckara, follows the canceled offers and disappointment

Opetaia unpopular Opopular

The fans are not satisfied with the news, considering it as another rival that is not strong for the unbeaten Opetia (28-0, 22 kos). They want to see that Jai is achieved in a unification match against WBA and WBO champion, Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez or a defense against Chris Billian Smith. The 40-year-old Cinkara (23-0, 19 kos) is not what they are looking for.

The fans would be more tolerant of Opetia defending against Cinkara if they left the battle against one of the talented fighters of the division. This has not happened. Thus, people criticize this fight against Cinkara, seeing it -as another Gimme for Opetia with its record.

The Rinkara, born in Germany, has an impressive record at first glance, but its opponents have been largely dark throughout its nine years of their career. It has reached a number 1 ranking and a mandatory position with IBF, but mainly because the heavy weight division has no talent.

Fighters usually ignore the division and go directly to heavy weight during the biggest days if they are in size. Opetia, 30, has chosen to remain in the weight of cruises instead of following the ex -champion of Oleksandr Usyk cruise ships for heavy weight.

Fans accused of objected IMAR

Older days and challenges are waiting for heavy weight for Opetia, but for some reason, he has chosen to stay in Cruiserweight, defending himself against the little-known opposition. It is a big fish in a small pond of this division.

Jai’s criticism is based on his lack of ambition. They see him as a 30-year-old who hesitates to let go of the cruise weight division for heavy weight because he is afraid of risking.
