Jai Opetaia vs. Claudio Squeo live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, start time for IBF cruiserweight world title fight
Uncrowned has Jai Opetaia vs. Claudio Squeo live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Opetaia vs. Squeo fight card on Sunday morning at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in Queensland, Australia. Opetaia defends his IBF cruiserweight title in the main event.
Opetaia (27-0, 21 KOs) makes his second appearance of 2025 following a brutal stoppage win over David Nyika in January.

Claudio Squeo (17-0, 9 KOs) isn't the opponent Opetaia wanted to land at this stage of his career, but the champion will have to be mindful of slipping against a relatively unknown operator who is fighting outside of Italy for the first time in his eight-year career.
Nicknamed "The Red Bull," Squeo's career has been inspired by Russell Crowe's movie "Cinderella Man" — and he'll be looking to write a blockbuster of his own on Australian soil.
The IBF champion, Opetaia, has been eyeing unification fights at the 200-pound limit since winning the title in 2022, with Gilberto Ramirez and Badou Jack as the other recognized champions in the division.
The co-main event features light heavyweight action between Conor Wallace (15-1, 11 KOs) and Dylan Colin (14-1, 4 KOs). Wallace, a southpaw fighting out of Queensland, Australia, is rarely in a dull contest, and will be looking to make a statement against the Frenchman in a bid to climb up to world level.

Elsewhere on the main card, we have super welterweight action between the unbeaten Ben Mahoney (15-0-1, 8 KOs) and Venezuela's Eddy Colmenares (9-2-1, 9 KOs) for the IBF's vacant Inter-Continental strap at 154 pounds — a fight that looks to be well matched on paper.
Also, Tyler Blizzard (9-0, 4 KOs) and Rocky Ogden (7-2, 5 KOs) throw it down in the featherweight division, looking to grab the IBF's vacant Pan Pacific title.
The Opetaia vs. Squeo prelims begin at 2:30 a.m. ET and can be watched on Uncrowned below.
The main card begins at 5 a.m. ET on DAZN, with main-event ring walks expected around 7 a.m. ET.

SYDNEY (AP) — Former England captain Owen Farrell was summoned by the British and Irish Lions to replace Elliot Daly on the tour of Australia on Thursday. Daly broke his left forearm on Wednesday in the 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane. 'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over,' Lions coach Andy Farrell said in a statement. 'He is a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours. 'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.' Owen Farrell will join his fourth tour, having played 18 times for the Lions, including six tests across 2013, 2017 and 2021. However, he hasn't played an international since leading England at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, after which he took a break from test rugby. He earned 112 England caps and is the team's all-time points record-holder. Owen Farrell also hasn't played any rugby in two months. He was concussed on May 4 while playing for Racing 92 in his last game for the French Top 14 side. He recently signed a new deal to return to his old English club Saracens. ___ AP rugby:
