JAI OPETAIA took out the anger of losing his world title on Brit Ellis Zorro with a brutal one-punch knockout.
Opetaia landed in Saudi Arabia to feature on Anthony Joshua’s undercard with the news that he faced losing his IBF belt.
The Aussie had the choice of keeping the strap to defend against mandatory challenger Mairis Briedis or surrender it for the Saudi payday.
Opetaia could not help but choose the career-high payday – and Zorro took the brunt of it.
A massive left hook in the opening round left Zorro out for the count and needing oxygen.
