Australia’s Jai Opetaia will aim to put a dramatic week behind him when he faces off with Brandon Glanton in the cruiserweight main event of Zuffa 04 in Las Vegas on Sunday, March 8.
The undefeated knockout artist looks set to be stripped of his world title by the IBF following a disagreement between the sanctioning body and the promoter over the classification of the inaugural Zuffa title, which will be on the line.
Opetaia’s team are working in the background to retain his strap, but for the destructive southpaw, he must focus on Atlanta’s Glanton, who has never been stopped or knocked down in 24 professional fights.
