Not many realize there is a lot of precedents this weekend in boxing.
Paramount Plus in the US will have their first really big world champion boxer fight on the platform this weekend in the form of Australia’s Jai Opetaia.
It is a big weekend for the UFC who stage the event with Zuffa Boxing — their new boxing entity in the sport.
The early production problems and tooth aches have been solved now on the platform and now the stage is set to let rip all year long with maximum all guns blazing mentality.
Fights all round regularly of the highest level with the best fighting the best is all that will do.
Opetaia of Australia represents one of the best at cruiserweight in the world and although he should win this weekend against his first opponent on Zuffa Boxing 04, he can’t take his eye off the ball.
No one know what could happen to the Australian this year after this weekend’s fights, hey who knows, but if he wants to be at least talked about in big fights after this weekend for a while at least, he needs to win big this weekend.
Interestingly it will also be for the first Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight title.
They are now rolling out their new belt in the divisions that they recognize in professional boxing in a time where the other traditional belt organizations are less recognized than ever among boxing fans.
Boxing fans simply want to see the best fight the best now and the belt is secondary, given the ability for the Zuffa Boxing belt to take centre stage more and more in the sport.
Here are the the details ahead of Zuffa Boxing 04 this weekend.
