That defeat was arguably a fight he didn’t have too much training for, having replaced Huseyin Cinkara with around three weeks’ notice.</p> <p>Still, the Kiwi put in a comprehensive performance, even if he was knocked down to the canvas on two separate occasions in his fourth-round KO. It was undoubtedly a significant step up in competition, with Opetaia the best in the division, given his status as the IBF and lineal cruiserweight champion.</p> <p>Despite the loss, Nyika showed flashes of his aggressive style and power, but struggled to match Opetaia’s skill and ring generalship.

A career cruiserweight, he has fought at heavyweight for his last four fights, with his last three including two draws and the victory over the 48-year-old Ashong. His upcoming contest against Nyika is a step up in terms of the quality and class of the fighters, which is why many are backing the younger of the duo to come out on top.</p> <p>Nonetheless, “The Greek” is an experienced fighter whom the 29-year-old can’t take for granted.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Nyika vs Charalampous: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The latest Nyika vs Charalampous betting odds have Nyika the favourite to win this encounter as he steps back inside the ring and returns to the top of the division as a legitimate contender.
