The IBF Cruiserweight champion, Jai Opetaia, surpassed his smallest Challenger #14 Claudi Squeo for eight pounds on Saturday’s heavy for his 12 -round holder this Sunday, June 8 at the Gold Coast Convention Center, Broadbeach, Australia.
The size difference between the 6’1 ″ (27-0, 21 kos) and the Squeo of 5’10 “(17-0, 9 kos) was clear to see. It seemed like Jai was in front of a lightweight weight on the current weight.
Opetia had a look of shame and shame in his eyes during his face. You could say that it does not seem as motivated by this struggle as in its past fights.
There are already boxing fans who complain that this struggle is a mismatch in favor of Opetaia, but today it stood out. The 34 -year -old Italian “Red Bull” looked small and out of place.

Opetaia’s frustration: find decent adversaries
After the heavy, Opetia complained about how hard it is for him to get the opponents fight against him. He assumed that when he captured the title Ibf Cruiserweight in 2024, it would be easy to achieve unification struggles and the big name contenders to face him. This has not happened.
The other two heavyweight champions, Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez and Badou Jack, have not been in a hurry to fight him. It’s obvious why. Without offering the mega billion, it is not worth it for Ramírez or Badou to fight against Opetaia because their titles would be released essentially.
Neither of these two holders of the belt would have a great opportunity against Opetaia. Therefore, it is not worth facing him, unless Turki Alashikh offers them a lot of money to take the fights.
“He is a pretty quiet boy. He is a respectful guy, and he is here to have a good fight and go home,” said Jai Opetaia Jai Mcallister Boxing About what he saw on his heavy face with Claudio Squeo. “Definitely, but all these fights are dangerous. Every time I step on the ring and I put my world title on the line, it is dangerous, especially against these guys who have nothing to lose and everything to win.”
Surely, Squeo cannot be the best that Jai promoters could excavate to fight. They may not have realized the little interest that fans would have in this struggle. You can blindly choose anyone from Cruiserweight Top 15 and find a better opponent than Squeo.
“It is (Squeo) a small bomber that is presented. He wants to do it ugly. They are all dangerous fights,” said Opetaia. “We have to take it seriously. As I said, my world title is on the line. This is serious for us. Without these world titles, nothing else is happening. It’s difficult enough to fight these world titles.”
