Jai Opetaia Net Worth
Jai Opetaia was last seen in boxing action on the ‘Day Of Reckoning’ undercard in December 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Opetaia was a massive favourite with UK bookmakers to defeat Ellis Zorro, which he did in emphatic style inside Round 1.
2024 could be the best year of Jai Opetaia’s career to date. A rematch with Mairis Briedis could be on the cards, as could unifications against the likes of Chris Billam-Smith. Whatever Opetaia does next, he will likely go into the fight as the overriding favourite with the best boxing betting sites regardless of the opponent.
As of January 2024, Jai Opetaia’s net worth is said to be estimated at £4 million according to All Famous Birthday. The Australian cruiserweight boxer has seen a huge rise in his net worth over the past few of years, mainly due to his bouts with Mairis Briedis, Jordan Thompson and most recently Ellis Zorro in Saudi Arabia.
He has had some other big purses throughout his career too of course, but has been earning extremely lucratively more recently. More on his career earnings later.
