It has been reported that three-time world champion Mairis Briedis (28-2, 20 KOs) has “verbally agreed” to fight Justis Huni (6-0, 4 KOs) at heavyweight on Saturday, October 29, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Breidis lost the IBF cruiserweight championship to Jai Opetaia in July. Huni is a former 2019 bronze medalist in the world amateur championships and currently holds the Australian heavyweight title.
Briedis should win this fight… but I said the same thing about Opetaia.
Huni will knock Briedis out. Briedis is on the back 9.
Lucie, I said the same thing about Opetaia and Breidis just looked slower, older, a step behind all the time, nothing close to his fight against Usky of course. For his Breidis’ sake hopefully he does better fighting what will be a slower opponent in Huni at heavyweight.
Lol huni is faster then opetaia
Breidis on points because of his experience..
Breidis almost beat Usyk. Now he is being used as a trail horse. That is sad. 🙁
Wonder if he skipped going for a rematch because Opetaia is still recovering
Easy fight for Huni, Briedis gets a good pay day just for showing up.
Huni in 10!
Roy: ‘in 10’ ? What happened ? . . .
