“You Dropped Fury Didn’t You”: Jai Opetaia’s Recent Post Goes Unnoticed as Fans Seek Answer to Rumors of Him Dropping Tyson Fury During Sparring Session

You know you are good when you are invited to be in the camp of the WBC Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. Jai Opetaia is a no-brainer when it comes to people who can hold their own against the undefeated champion. However, when one is rumored to be better than the champion itself, it creates havoc among the audience. That is exactly what has happened with Opetaia.

The undefeated cruiserweight king just came off a dominant knockout win against Ellis Zorro in the first round of their fight in December. Now, he already has a rematch scheduled in the ‘Ring of Fire’ undercard against his old opponent Mairis Briedis. His activity is the reason for his growth and popularity in the community. However, his recent venture into Fury’s camp for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk met a quick end. Let’s find out why.

Jai Opetaia quits Tyson Fury’s camp

Fury’s decision to bring the cruiserweight king into his camp was due to many reasons. One was the fact that Opetaia shares nearly the same build and reach as Usyk. Another surprising reason is the fact that both Usyk and Opetaia share a similar style of boxing. But, Opetaia quit just after five rounds of sparring. Why?

While official sources claim that Opetaia quit due to the lack of ‘orthodox sparring’ in the camp, boxing fans seem to disagree. According to some sources, Opetaia was asked to leave the camp because he allegedly dropped Fury during sparring. Whether it is true or not is a question that has no answer yet. In Opetaia’s recent post on social media platform X, most fans ignored the post and talked of Opetaia’s real reason for leaving the camp. Let us see what they had to say.

Fans impose the rumors in comments

Fury apparently getting dropped by Opetaia resulted in a flood of praises for Opetaia. One fan said, “Champ be honest, you dropped Fury didn’t you and then their camp had a tantrum and kicked you out,” asking Opetaia to confirm if the rumors had any base.

Another fan said, “The face of a man who’s just smashed the lineal heavyweight champion to bits in sparring and been sent home,” said one fan, praising Opetaia for dropping the champion and being sent home as a result.

One simply exclaimed, “You dropped fury huh,” seemingly questioning Opetaia and his abilities.

“This man is exactly what boxing needs, fights regularly, ruthless in the ring value for money,” said another praising Opetaia. According to the user, a fighter like Opetaia is exactly what boxing needs at the moment.

One fan said, “Gonna be interesting when u get to HW champ, looking forward to you shaking shit up,” who could not wait to see Opetaia move up to the heavyweight division and wreak havoc.
