Three time cruiserweight champion and reigning IBF belt-holder Mairis Briedis says he’s leaving the division and moving up to heavyweight. The 36 year old Latvian made his announcement on TikTok, which is apparently the latest social platform we’ll need to monitor for news like this.

Briedis was last seen in action winning the finals of the World Boxing Super Series in September of 2020 against Yuniel Dorticos. He earned his way there through one of the zaniest fights you’ll ever see, a semifinals showdown against Krzysztof Glowacki featuring shenanigans aplenty from both fighters, and referee Robert Byrd, too.
