JAI OPETAIA DOMINATES: WINS BY KO, IMMEDIATELY CALLS OUT ZURDO RAMIREZ
Jai Opetaia secured a dominant KO win, but his opponent, Huseyin Cinkara, suffered serious injuries, including a broken vertebra and brain bruise, after hitting the ropes.
Jai Opetaia beat Huseyin Cinkara with a KO, leaving his opponent in rough shape.
The Australian fighter faced Cinkara, an undefeated 40-year-old, in his recent pro fight.
Even though Opetaia was expected to win big, he wanted to stay sharp before chasing bigger fights in 2026.
Cinkara couldn't keep up that night.
The powerful cruiserweight dominated every round before the fight was stopped.
In the eighth round, Opetaia's power really showed when Cinkara felt the blow of the champion.
A harsh left hook landed, and the Turkish-German fighter went down.
He was out cold for a few minutes after hitting the deck hard against the ropes.
It was a worrisome scene. Opetaia and the crowd watched as the veteran got medical help.
He stood up to applause, but the fight had clearly hurt him.
Cinkara's Injuries After Opetaia KO
Cinkara was in bad shape after his first loss and probably won't want to fight someone like Opetaia again.
After the fight, his translator said he even broke a bone in his back from the fall.
He'll be in the hospital for a few days. He has a brain bruise and a broken vertebra, the translator said.
He was hit hard, and his head hit the ropes right at the top of his back.
The ropes are hard, and he bounced off them and hit his head on the floor.
He was freaking out because he couldn't speak English.
What's Next for Opetaia?
Opetaia is hoping for a great 2026 and still wants to fight Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez to bring the titles together.
But first, he wants to get better. He wasn't happy with his own performance, even though he won.
He said, Some nights are like that. We'll go back and practice.
I'm very disappointed in myself. I feel like I let people down with my performance. I made a lot of mistakes.
But now we want the unification fights. We want Ramirez.
I've been asking for them [Ramirez's team] for a while.
CRUISERWEIGHT CHALLENGE: RYAN ROZICKI TELLS JAI OPETAIA TO "STAY GROUNDED" AFTER STRUGGLE
Ring No. 4 contender Ryan Rozicki calls out Jai Opetaia, warning the champion that overconfidence and fighting "weaker opponents" will lead to his downfall.
Ryan Rozicki's Message to Jai Opetaia: Stay Grounded
Jai Opetaia, the Ring and IBF champion, recently secured his fourth straight knockout victory by defeating Huseyin Cinkara in eight rounds. This win wraps up a busy year for Opetaia, during which he defended his title three times.
Ryan Rozicki, a Canadian contender, acknowledges Opetaia's achievements and his position as the top cruiserweight.
However, Rozicki, who is ranked No. 4 by The Ring, thinks he would be a much tougher opponent than those Opetaia has faced recently.
"From what I've seen, he's probably the best in the division," Rozicki told The Ring. If that fight comes my way, I'll definitely take it. He hasn't fought anyone like me. I've watched some of his fights, and he's been up against weaker opponents.
After watching Opetaia struggle early in his fight against Cinkara, Rozicki has a word of caution for him.
In my opinion, his opponent didn't look world-class, he said. He got hit and wobbled in the second round. If that were my right hand, he wouldn't have gotten up.
Opetaia's aggressive start allowed Cinkara to land a couple of right hands in the second round, which shook the champion. Opetaia expressed frustration after the fight, admitting his performance wasn't great. This may motivate him for 2026, especially given his disappointment with failed unification attempts.
It seems that overconfidence and a lack of real tests might be affecting Opetaia's recent performances, as seen when he was caught by David Nyika and even more so by Cinkara before pulling through.
Rozicki warns Opetaia to stay grounded.
"Don't believe everything you hear about yourself," he said. Be careful about what your team tells you, because you might think you're invincible, but you're probably not.
Rozicki's promoter, Daniel Otter of The Lions Promotions, is also interested in setting up a fight between Rozicki and Opetaia.
"Jai keeps saying people are avoiding him," Otter said. I think people have been avoiding Ryan, too, so if Jai is serious, Ryan is ready to fight him.
ANDREW TATE'S RESPECT: HE CALLS JAKE PAUL VS. ANTHONY JOSHUA INTERESTING AMIDST WEIGHT CLAUSE CHAOS
Andrew Tate respects Jake Paul for fighting Anthony Joshua but is criticised by opponent Chase DeMoor for a controversial 'under 200lb' weight clause in their Misfits bout.
Andrew Tate thinks Jake Paul's fight with Anthony Joshua will be interesting.
Paul and Joshua are set to fight in Miami next Friday in a heavyweight match that's getting a lot of criticism. The next night, Tate will box Misfits heavyweight champ Chase DeMoor in Dubai. This marks Tate's return to the ring after doing kickboxing.
Tate and Paul have had issues in the past, but Tate gave Paul props. "I think that night will be interesting," he told iFL TV. I respect anyone who steps into the ring. People risk their lives to entertain others. I respect Jake and AJ, and I'm glad they're getting in there. I hope they both stay safe.
One thing both fights have in common is a weight limit, even though they're both heavyweight bouts. Joshua can't weigh over 245 lb for his fight with Paul. DeMoor said Tate wanted him to weigh UNDER 200 lb, which would make it a cruiserweight fight.
If he was sure he would beat me, why is there a weight clause in a heavyweight fight? He asked. Why are we fighting under 200 pounds? Why the rehydration clause? Why is it his arena, his judges, and his referee? Why did he try to say no to my gloves? "I have to fight in house clothes," said DeMoor.
They gave me this fight in July. I agreed to whatever he wanted, just to get him in the ring. He wants the weight cut; fine. He wants the rounds; fine. He wants the gloves, the rings, and the judges. Fine, fine, fine. I didn't negotiate at all.
I'm always the underdog in every fight. People think I'll lose, but I go out there and knock them out in the first few rounds.
While Tate respects Paul and Joshua, he feels different about his opponent. "I could pick a different opponent and make more money, and people would still watch," he said. Everyone's focused on me. This fight is all about me. I've been offered more money to fight others. This is the Andrew Tate show. Face to the floor, it does not matter if he is in the ring or not... he needs to know this is my show.
