Boxing: Heavyweights Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk faced off after their final press conference, with the Gypsy King opting to avoid any eye contact with his opponent.
Australian star Jai Opetaia is a two-time world champion as he repeated his 2022 heroics with another gritty victory over Mairis Briedis in Saudi Arabia .
One would not bet against that from happening given the early dominance displayed by Opetaia, who ultimately outlanded Briedis with 83 punches from 294 thrown to the Latvian’s 70 from 308. It was the Aussie who raced out to an early lead on the scorecards, landing several clean shots in the second that left the crowd in Riyadh hopeful of yet another finish on a night filled with stoppages.Source: Getty Images
The fight flipped on its head in the 10th round when the Aussie suffered a broken nose himself, but it was later revealed to have come from an unintentional Briedis headbutt.“It’s a bit broken, but I’ll get this fixed, fight the next fighter and we’ll be back soon.”
