Canelo Alvarez targeted for bizarre fight against world champion Jai Opetaia at cruiserweight level
IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia claims he was offered a fight with Canelo Alvarez by Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh .
However, Opetaia affirms Alalshikh wanted to make the clash at light-heavyweight which is too big of a drop for the Aussie, who has never fought below cruiserweight in the paid ranks.was to come up to my division then he is too small but that's another fight you can't say no to," Opetaia told"He said 'at 175lbs' and I wouldn't be able to make anything lower than cruiser. The jump from 79kg to 91kg is ridiculous.
There are also unification contests with the other cruiserweight champions: Chris Billam-Smith , Noel Mikaelian and Gilberto Ramirez to be made as well.
