Thanks 👍🏼
Cheers
God bless you
Don’t care about that bum
Gracias Amigo!
Him getting stripped while the IBF let Canelo swan around playing golf and showing zero interest in fighting the best was a travesty.
how does canelo come to mind from this interview???? the #1 ibf 168lb contender is william scull ????? you believe he is a threat to canelo??? should canelo fight him next ???? benavidez is not even ranked by the ibf?????
@@bandadoc5715 double standards about stripping fighters. There was no way Jai Opetaia deserved that. Canelo has deserved it for a long time now.
Because rematch was in the contract
@@pavloryzhkov governing bodies have nothing to do with rematches.
@@danielwoods3563 I think that’s not entirely accurate. I agree that governing bodies do not set or enforce rematches unless a rematch was a mandatory fight. However, I do believe that the bi-laws, or rules of engagement of governing bodies include language that allows for rematches to outweigh other fights based on historical interest and significance of many rematches. I would be curious to find out what their bi-laws or rules actually say regarding rematches. May have to do some research.
There’s no doubt this geeza is a beast in the ring, and will dominate heavyweight division in the future. 👊
that was a really good interview!!! much respect to opetaia
Jais nightmares are scared of him .
Jai seems a real nice guy..great video..
Future HW champion
This man is, by some margin the most exciting boxer ive seen in the last 30 yrs. No nonesense and all business. Its a breath of fresh air to see such a talent not seduced by the lure of social media. He stands alone and is the epitomy of pugilism. I hope he receives all he deserves and more. This man is real, humble and true. Its plain to see he has been brought up with all the morals. The real beast of the ring is a gentleman outside of it. One impressive dude.
I think they treated him badly he's a proper champion
Jai f**king Opetaia A beast and more!!
Totally agree the guy is a destructive boxer and a monster!
This man is a throwback fighter. Absolute savage with great skills.
No. His technical skills are average in my opinion
@@marcelarbeiter4694 His foot work is great. His angles are great. And his shot selection is great. Might not be the slickest fighter ever but with his aggressive style that's not surprising.
@@AlTarif your 100% right! Mans got heart skill and power, 8 or 9 rounds with a broken jaw, throw back fighter for sure
@@marcelarbeiter4694 lol
Marcelabelter obviously never broken a bone in his life
I love Jai's attitude towards boxing & training, his mindset, focus & dedication is 2nd to none, an absolute beast, he's from a boxing family, born to be a champion & he is well on his way to being an all time great
Brilliant interview 👍🇦🇺
Good to hear a someone who is not just a great fighter but has sparred Fury, being honest and saying the winner will be the man who has the ability and the endurance to stick to the game plan. He is 100% right, anyone who categorically names the winner doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It’s going to be great fight, I just hope it goes ahead this time…!
Tournament 👍
Jai "what all due respect" Opetaia
Great interview. But real talk, Jai looks like he's got no time and just wants to fight 😂
i havent heard an interview from jai since he left tyson furys camp.
Top bloke
Wanna see riakhpore vs jai big fight! Someone’s getting night night!
He ducked Jai already and didn't want the smoke
Riakhpore would have no chance
Wow, if Fury is sparring Jai he’s gunna be fit. Jai smashes it like Captain Caveman! Great sparring partner.
Jai will have all the belts he is a machine and is coming for all I've known him since he was 15 and he wanted to be a world champion then it's his life believe when he says all he wants to be is the best fighter cos he is heart of a lion will never quit good luck for anyone that challenges him uso much lv brother.
is it me or did the interviewer say jai won the title in 2012
Yes it was human error.
I want him to move up to heavy weight. Should be interesting
Jai was only in the Fury camp for a day I thought.
Beast
Jai would drop Usyk, the kids physically and mentally a beast.
SKIP Click bait
Not debately mate he is the best
Smiley lad
Jeez, Jai Opetaia is going to make the I. B. F. look really foolish, because he is going to unify the division, & he will force their Champion to fight him' I dont think that anyone is going to beat him, he is the best in the division, & when he eventually moves up to Heavyweight, he is going to do really well, & only the very best fighters will beat him, & that's only if they really, really deserve it. Opetaia is a very special boxer, & he is my favourite, he has all the attributes to be an all time great.
He said Tyson can win then said Usyk can definitely win Weird
Is it weird because he said definitely for one but not for the other? It ain't that deep.
Just before that he showed a fair bit of frustration about all the negativity that people pulled from the fact that he worked with Tyson for a bit in the last camp.
If jai spills your Stella you say sorry mate.
Who drinks Stella? Is that a chicks drink?
@@stubrown7766 Stella Artois is a beer 🍺 what kind of a man doesn’t know what a Stella is?
Over here we drink real beer bro!!
@@stubrown7766 you clearly don’t know what your talking about. What like bud light 😂
Level headed boxer. Incitful
...he digging in emptyness.
You can tell he thinks Usyk will win but juts can’t say it
How can you get that from what he said? You haters will find anything, and I mean anything to run the fella down
Wiz-er I think you’ll find people are running him down because he’s a joke and they are tired of him. Just human behaviour
@stubrown7766 I think people take this shit way too seriously if you are a grown man and you let someone get under your skin who don't effect your life in the slightest you are the one will the problem
Wiz-er I agree with you but it is understandable that people will become intolerant of BS when they see it. Fury has become a disaster to watch and listen to yet cracks on like he’s immortal.
@stubrown7766 to get into a ring all your life you have to have some delusion thinking you can beat anyone. People just need to chill out imagine boxing with guys like joshua and usyk , great fighters but you could fall asleep listening to them fury brings excitement. If I was a pro fighter I would tell media all types of shit they only make money of what he says so feed them with all types of shit and let the people close to u know what's going on , I find it funny myself but I don't take it seriously I just see it as entertainment, what he does or fights don't change my life it's that simple
Jai is an animal
It’s not levelling up, dude. Fairy is doo doo. A fraudster.
Jai is not a straight shooter, I don’t know why. I’m saying this because the whole IBF situation developed over time and you can track it back to last August by Googling news articles about IBF sending Briedis vs Opetaia 2 to go to purse bid in September of 2023. Here’s a heading from an article: “Jai Opetaia ordered by IBF to face Mairis Briedis in world title rematch” Don’t take my word for it, google it. So Opetaia camp refused to fight Briedis and requested a voluntary defense against Thompson (low ranking opponent with soft record, 36th in the world). That’s understandable as Briedis gave Opetaia the hardest fight of his life and left him with a badly broken jaw. Briedis agreed to step aside as long as he gets to face the winner. So Opetaia elected not to fight Briedis. In step aside situations the boxer who steps aside usually gets paid to do so. I do not know if this was the case. Briedis keeps training for Opetaia, gets an injury in the camp and when he was offered the Saudi fight on a short notice he obviously declined until he recovered. Briedis had no issues with Opetaia fighting Zorro (another low ranked opponent, 49th in the world) as long as he got the shot at the winner. IBF didn’t care because Zorro was not ranked by them. If you look at Zorro’s record you will see why IBF didn’t find that fight suitable. There may be more politics with sanctioning fees that I am not aware of. But to be clear, Briedis didn’t object Opetaia fighting Zorro. I personally think since Briedis didn’t object, Opetaia should’ve kept the belt, but once again it was IBF’s decision. Now a disheartening bit comes when Opetaia calls Briedis a pussy after IBF stripped him of his belt. He says that he doesn’t care about belts, just being the best in his division, but it obviously got to him, otherwise why would he curse at a fighter who stepped aside for their first mandated rematch giving him a chance to get back on a horse in an easy voluntary defense then has no issue with Opetaia fighting Zorro for his big payday against an overmatched opponent? Opetaia’s camp was informed why Briedis wouldn’t fight him in December in Saudi. The fight was on short notice and Briedis was recovering from an injury sustained in training camp preparing for Opetaia. Please do not forget that Jai asked for a voluntary defense instead of mandatory rematch against Briedis ordered in September 2023. Jai knows all this and says he doesn’t know what Briedis’s excuse was for not fighting him in December. Briedis was being more than a gentleman in handling this entire situation and once again was ready to fight Opetaia in February until the whole card got moved to 18th of May, and guess what, he is still ready and will come prepared. Opetaia should get out of his emotions and look at facts. Calling Briedis a pussy when he knows that Briedis offered to fight Opetaia’s friend Justis Huni in Australia at heavyweight to get more buzz for their re match. Huni wanted non of that. Here’s my take on the upcoming fight. Briedis figured Opetaia out and will continue what he started in the last fight. Opetaia had two easy fights less than 5 rounds total with opponents well outside of top 15. Opetaia’s supporters look at those as some indication of brilliance. I see that he got the job done against well overmatched opponents, but no experience gained, just confidence from being back in the ring. And Jai’s supporters also like to point out Briedis’s age, that’s just hope and wishful thinking that he had slowed, no proof of that until the fight. What we know is that Briedis took all this time to prepare with one opponent in mind? Anyone discounting Briedis, are you also discounting Beterbiev, who is the same age as Briedis. Beterbiev will fight against Bivol in June for undisputed at light heavyweight. Is he too old as well? The interviewer said he believed that Briedis won against Usyk, I agree. In addition I believe that he won against Opetaia. However, Opetaia not being as skilled and strong as Usyk got his jaw broken by an older Briedis. Anyone who thinks that this will be an easy fight for either fighter is ill informed or biased with a pinch of wishful thinking. Do not expect a response to your unsubstantiated replies and personal attacks on this comment. Make it interesting, be clever, bring some stats, facts and figures, not emojis.
Interesting facts you have mentioned, guess we have to see what what happens at up coming fight between these two boxers. May the best man wins.
@@OLOLAK_7777 Absolutely. In my eyes they are both deserving and neither had an easy fight last time. Let’s hope that they will both bring the best versions of themselves and put on another great display loose, win or draw.
@sergeyIAM mate get a life. You keep popping up and talking shit about Jai. Get over yourself. Bredis lost. I will come back to your novel comment am burn you when jai makes his look stupid. You can talk all you want. The fact is. Jai went into the fight with a injured shoulder and had his jaw broken in the 3rd round and bredis still couldn't beta Jai. Stop talking shat and get over that bredis is a old fart and his days are over. Go sleep little boy.
And stop lying! You act like your bredis dad. STHU!
Briedis was injured and pulled out of the rematch.
About six feet deep, I'd say.
Bloody legend mate! keep crackin!
Won the belt in 2012 😂
