Australia ’s Jai Opetaia has been described as one of the most exciting fighters on the planet during a bizarre press conference exchange that also appeared to have him likened to Evander Holyfield — albeit when Mike Tyson bit his ear off.
While he has since been contentiously stripped of said belt, the Aussie remains unbeaten, The Ring cruiserweight champ and according to promoter Eddie Hearn, ready “to establish himself as one of the greatest fighters on the planet”. The Latvian even acknowledged Holyfield, who is not only in Riyadh for fight week, but was sat front row for the press event alongside another heavyweight great in Lennox Lewis.Yet rather than discuss that fight, Briedis instead recounted Holyfield’s crazy 1997 showdown against Tyson — where he was twice bitten on the ear, losing some of it, before his rival was disqualified.“When he fought with Mike Tyson, and Tyson bite his ear … then he make big business.
