Fight him then. No? Ok then.

[@peternut358]

Opetaia would beat the shit out of CBS. He’s comfortable to fight domestic fighters at home and his coach knows he doesn’t belong in the ring with Opetaia.

[@default5790]

CBS and Riakporhe have mastered the art of talking about wanting to fight Opetaia but never going through with it.

[@rockybalboap7763]

opeteaia is on another level

[@chrisnewell1065]

He hasn't proved himself yet

[@rockybalboap7763]

[@tupekalifa6685]

CBS is the definition of "lots of fart but no shit" stop running away from Jai and sign the contract 🤷

[@MrBoloYeung]

Opetaia puts this ball bag to sleep in round 1.

[@LimerickR266]

Winner of Billam-Smith vs Riakporhe 2 needs to fight Opetaia next. Simple as that.

[@vburau7]

Sign the contract boyyyyi

[@britishpatriot7386]

Calm down little man.

[@razthis3045]

Opetaia is on a completely different level to you lil boy

[@eddietoo8697]

CBS just like to talk but never walk the talk😂 fight him then. Instead of saying stuff call the guy out so many opportunities to fight him but scared to call him out😂 hold on to your belt Opetaia will clap you easy and take that belt from you.

[@sonnyt-iosefa7761]

Why duck Jai Opetaia? .. You refused to fight him🤣😂🤣

[@Yongs17]

💯

[@unknownsamoan01]

He’s been offered the fight numerous times since the Opetaia Vs Thomson fight. Before and after the Zorro fight, and still says “no”. Then comes media and says this? You (the WBO) belt is what Jai wants. He has said it many times. Mate, call Jai out and fight him.

[@Yongs17]

💯 it's one thing to talk it up but when ge sees jai standing across him it's a different story.

[@Duel1982]

Says the guy that lost at Domestic level and was nearly beaten by a fringe European and a 45 year old European.

[@ronnieotine70]

You are no where near Opetaia power

[@drewkiely901]

CBS became hyped by competing in dancing with the stars against Okolie for 12 rounds.

[@ianmitchell9102]

😂😂

[@merfibeemused]

I have great respect for Chris Billam Smith for biting down on his gum shield and getting through some tough fights to finally become a world champion, but that statement he made is total rubbish🫨. Jai Opetaia won the World title fighting 3 time former world Cruiserweight title holder 'Mairis Breidis'....and with a broken jaw from round 2. Definitely not the cleverest thing CBS has said recently

[@peternut358]

Opetaia would love this interview 😏

[@JustinWXD]

He's avoiding talking about opetaia 😂

[@Hologhoul]

A lot of jealous sounding comments here, give the guy a break. He's a champion and just trying to hold his ground, he knows Opetaia is good. Personally I think Opetaia beats Chris but no need to bash the guy for being confident.

[@BONAF1DE1]

It’s the internet we here to bash people lol

[@MrOptimisticc]

Briedis is british level then😂 Okay son, that makes you street level

[@louduva9849]

There was in fact very little talk about Opetaia after the Briedis fight - a war Opetaia lost the second half of, and which left him with injuries that kept him out of competition for months. Opetaia really has been hyped up on the basis of two KO victories over hopelessly overmatched opponents. He may be very good, but he's still being overrated.

[@BONAF1DE1]

So jump in the ring with him son

[@andrepapanicolaou3288]

I respect Cbs! But mate opetaia finishes you within 8.

[@Yongs17]

Within 3 rounds.

[@RuhulAmin-sl8gy]

All these british cruiserweights say the same thing. Jai just beat the top other Cruiserweight in Bredis x2 who certainly elite world level. Ramierez & the winner of CBS/Riakpore are there for Jai to collect all the belts

[@richardmussell1041]

Ok cbs take him on next . Under boxxer you won’t go nr him

[@tau7967]

Mate your at British Level 😂

[@spellchequer3515]

I like his mentality and I want to see him fight opetaia even that I would favor opetaia

[@joshdog7]

Make the fight Winner of chris b smith v rich rikaporhe vs the champ jai opetaia 👑

[@thairanc]

Opoteia beats CBS

[@louduva9849]

Probably, but it doesn't mean Opetaia isn't overrated.

[@thairanc]

@@louduva9849 how is he overrated? He’s beating what’s been put in front of him. He’s beaten Bredis who is world level. Dude is easily top 3 best in the division.

[@BONAF1DE1]

@@louduva9849it’s not that he’s beating these overmatched guys it’s the fashion he’s doin it on. The guys he’s just flatlined would be competitive with these guys. lol.

[@jamesdepledge5823]

I like this interviewer. Never heard him before

[@chale9790]

Thompson and Zorro jumped those levels because you cowards didn't wanna take the fight. Ducking Breidas all this time and now ducking Jai

[@nAYdiAa]

Ain’t no one signing up to fight Jai, risky buisness every boxer and manager knows it

[@belco533]

this guy is going to sleep once jai hits him

[@Eric76]

Let's wait until 18th May and 15th June respectively shall we folks..

[@peternut358]

I hope Opetaia sees this interview 😏 Just to let you know CBS. Opetaia beat the best in Briedis and you would have to go up 2 levels to compete with Opetaia.

[@NoLoveLyons]

Chris have you completely forgotten Opetaia already fought Briedis and beat him with a broken jaw! You say Briedis has been out a while, guess who he fought last…Opetaia lad! lol

[@killuamondo8684]

Talking shyte..

[@johnjarvis2470]

Will duck opetaia

[@lima685]

Sounds like this guy needs to get in the ring with Jai. So he can find out how bad Jai is!!

As a British fighting fan, who actually likes CBS, he buries you.

[@aronaropati9340]

This guy wouldn’t last 2 rounds with Jai…

[@francishughes2016]

Jeez, Chris is a good fighter, but Opetaia is a great fighter, & he will take Smith apart in 4 rounds, he's just different class, & is about 2 levels above Chris.

[@MTT-ic3ci]

Under british level but spars with tyson fury?

[@marynharris]

jai is world champion, so does that mean British level is above world champion? Is British level a new belt nobody has ever heard of? WTF is he going on about

[@ronnieotine70]

I don’t see cbs beat Opetaia he got too much for cbs

[@simtauelangi5576]

Jai wouldn't even use you as a sparring partner. Your a joke
