"I'll beat the crap out of Fury." Champion cruiser ready to give Tommy a shot.

Australian Jai Opetaia (23-0, 18 KOs), who holds the IBF cruiserweight title, is ready to meet Tyson Fury’s younger brother, Tommy (9-0, 4 KOs):

"Tommy Fury is not in my plans, but if he wants to fight for a world title, he can have his championship fight. I'd gladly clean up his act and then get back to title contention.

"I've never watched Tommy fight in person, but I've seen a few clips on social media. You know, he's not that terrible. This guy knows what he's doing, after all, he comes from a boxing family.

"If he wants to come to Australia and make it a big showdown, let's do it," Opetaia said in an interview with Fox Sports.
