Saudi Arabia, Riyadh – Jai Opetaia (24-0, 19 KOs), widely regarded as the best cruiserweight in the world, destroyed previously undefeated Ellis Zorro (17-1, 7 KOs) in one round. (Mark Robinson photographs)
Opetaia’s IBF championship was stripped for taking this fight, while a mandatory order to face Marias Breidis remained pending.
The dangerous puncher charged forward and then connected with a powerful left hand that threw Zorro to the mat, his head banging off the mat. The fight was immediately abandoned.
