WBC cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian has expressed his willingness to face Jai Opetaia, but acknowledged that the complexities surrounding Zuffa Boxing’s involvement could significantly hinder the arrangement of such a bout. The Armenian-German titleholder confirmed that the World Boxing Council would sanction a fight between them, but explicitly stated it would not be permitted under the Zuffa Boxing banner, which Opetaia now represents.
