The Mexican prevailed in a huge fight with WBO champion Chris Billam-Smith in Riyadh to add the Briton's crown to his WBA belt with a dominant unanimous decision win.

Ramirez's performance sparked excitement amongst boxing fans for another unification fight with IBF title holder Opetaia who is considered the number one operator at 200lbs.

Speaking to talkSPORT after the fight however, Opetaia's manager Mick Francis suggested a mandatory defence would be the priority before a bout with Zurdo himself.

"Jai probably didn’t watch the fight to be honest, I did," he said. "Jai was down in Sydney at his family’s place, I haven’t spoken with Jai since the fight.

"I don’t know what his thoughts are. We’ve got a fight in January against [Huseyin] Cinkara, so Jai’s got to fight for his mandatory before he can look at doing the Ramirez fight."

Cinkara hails from Germany and is unbeaten in his 22 fights as a professional with 18 of those wins coming by way of knockout.

His latest bout took place in April when he stopped Armend Xhoxhaj in the second round.

Opetaia meanwhile last fought in October when he stopped Jack Massey in the sixth round to register another successful defence of his crown.
