    • Jai Opetaia defends cruiserweight world title this weekend
    • Victory will pave the way for more fights against big names 

    By JAMES COONEY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

    Published: 02:46 EDT, 3 June 2025 | Updated: 02:47 EDT, 3 June 2025

    Aussie cruiserweight king Jai Opetaia has revealed exactly what he’d do to Jake Paul if the two ever met in the ring, ahead of his title defence on the Gold Coast this weekend.

    Opetaia, 29, will take on Italy’s Claudio Squeo on Sunday where the undefeated Aussie will look to make his third straight defence of his IBF title. 

    If Opetaia is successful he will likely be matched up against Mexican southpaw Gilbert Ramirez, who holds the WBO and WBA straps.

    However, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has also revealed his quest to be Cruiserweight champion and has spoken about fighting Ramirez.

    Opetaia says Paul’s chances against himself would be astronomically small.

    ‘It’s why I don’t even like talking about Jake Paul,’ Opetaia told News Corp.

    ‘That guy, he isn’t world class.

    ‘C’mon, now.

    ‘I would bash the s*** out of Jake Paul, literally.’

    Opetaia, who boasts a 27-0 record and is Australia’s best pound-for-pound boxer, would not say no if the The Problem Child wanted to fight him.

    ‘But if Jake Paul wants to fight me, bring it on,’ he said.

    ‘I’ll absolutely bash him on the way to becoming undisputed.

    ‘But we know he’s smarter than that.

    ‘These guys, they’re about business.

    ‘They don’t want to be the best fighter in the world, they want to be the most famous.

    ‘And there’s a real big difference in the two.’

    Opetia’s fight against Ramirez is a top priority for the Aussie pug, but he understands if the Mexican wants to chase a big payday against Paul. 

    ‘I feel like I’m the cruiserweight that generates the most money with [Ramirez], the biggest payday fight, but it’s a risk for him,’ he told The Ring.

    ‘I honestly believe if he wants to call himself the best cruiserweight in the world, he’s got to beat me first, and until he does that he’s not.

    ‘I don’t know what he wants to do or what he’s trying to do … he’s chasing coin, you can’t knock him if he wants to fight Jake Paul for a huge lump sum of money, who’d turn that down? I’d bash Jake Paul for a [expletive] couple mil, too. So it is what it is.

    ‘I’m chasing unification fights. I just believe I am the best in the division and I believe if I just keep winning, the money’s going to come anyway, so I just need the fights to happen.’
