I really like how Jai is chanting at the bit to fight, his attitude is so much like a young Mike Tyson not caring about the politics of the sport or the reputation of potential opponents, He just wants to fight and often. I sense there's a bit of frustration that his mandatory defense has not been officially signed yet, rumored to be 8th January 25 on the Gold Coast of Australia. I hope this gets signed soon and then that the winner of CBS-Ramirez has the cojones to face Jai next.

Originally I thought that Jai was being avoided, but having recently read and explanation given by Chris Billam-Smith I now believe that fight will happen. Jai has to be the favorite he beat the guy (twice) that gave Usyk all he could handle and more. Usyk himself said, when he was at cruiser weight that Mairis Breidis gave him the toughest rounds of his life.
