IBF Tells Jai Opetaia: Pick IBF Defense Or Zuffa Belt

Opetaia faces a choice before his Brandon Glanton bout this weekend. The IBF told the unbeaten cruiserweight champion he must pick one prize: defend the IBF title or chase Zuffa’s promoter belt. The sanctioning body won’t allow both on the line. If he proceeds with the Zuffa strap, he’ll have to vacate the IBF crown first to keep it clear.
