On July 2, 2022, Jai Opetaia defeated Mairis Briedis by unanimous decision in a 12-round cruiserweight world title bout for the IBF and Ring Magazine championships at Gold Coast Convention Centre in Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia. In a brutal and high-level fight, Opetaia controlled the early and middle rounds with his movement, speed, and sharp combinations, while Briedis came on strong late and broke Opetaia’s jaw during the contest, but Opetaia fought through the injury to secure the biggest win of his career on the scorecards (116–112, 116–112, 115–113). #boxing #fight #jaiopetaia #opetaia #mairisbriedis #opetaiabriedis
