Watch Opetaia vs. Massey October 12 live on DAZN
Jai Opetaia and Jack Massey both vowed to deliver success in their bout for their daughters, as part of Riyadh Season's IV Crown Showdown live on DAZN this weekend.
The two men meet on Saturday for Opetaia's IBF cruiserweight title, as part of a stacked fight card headlined by Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol in Saudi Arabia.
Australian Opetaia has burnished an excellent reputation throughout his career so far, while Massey hopes to crown a rebuild with success at the Kingdom Arena too.
In a press conference marked by quiet confidence and mutual respect, both men laid down their claims for the belt before they step into the ring.
"We’re in for a big card, a big night. I’m not expecting an easy night, but I’m ready," Opetaia said. "Let’s go then.
"Whatever he brings, I’ve got an answer for what he’s got. I’ve got too much ammunition. I'm taking that belt home to my daughter."

Massey meanwhile promised an entertaining bout for viewers around the world, and insisted that he is not in Riyadh to make up the numbers.
"I know an opportunity when I see one and I’m going to give it my all," he added. "We’re both killers. It’s going to make a fantastic fight, a very tasty fight.
"I’m not just another Brit coming over here to take a knee or a payday. You’re sadly mistaken. I’m coming home with that title, my little girl is seeing that title."
