Australian crusierweight Jai Opetaia is going to be part of the huge "Day of Reckoning" event in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
He will be coming up against Britain's Ellis Zorro, but his IBF world cruiserweight strap will no longer be on the line.
This is because the governing body forced Opetaia to vacate the title after he confirmed his choice to face Zorro instead of mandatory challenger and former champion, Mairis Briedis.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Opetaia vs. Zorro.
