David Nyika vs Tommy Karpency Undercard

David Nyika vs Tommy Karpency Fight

• Division/Weight: cruiser
• David Nyika record: 9-0
• Tommy Karpency record: 31-8
• Belts at stake: N/A

David Nyika faces Tommy Karpency in a cruiserweight bout with no titles on the line.

David Nyika turned pro in 2021 and boasts an undefeated record of 9 wins, with 8 coming by knockout. His last victory against Michael Seitz, who had only suffered one loss prior, demonstrates Nyika's power and skill at handling seasoned opponents in the cruiserweight division. Going against Karpency, whose experience exceeds Nyika's but comes with more losses, suggests Nyika’s fresher energy and knockout prowess may dominate.

Tommy Karpency, with a career starting back in 2006, has a substantial record of 31 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw. He recently defeated Joe Jones by unanimous decision—Jones is a less accomplished fighter compared to Nyika. Given this performance and considering Karpency’s lower knockout rate as well as age disadvantage, he might struggle to handle the aggressive style of the younger and swifter David Nyika.

Ricaia Warren vs Dylan Wright Fight

• Division/Weight: light heavy
• Ricaia Warren record: 2-0
• Dylan Wright record: 3-9
• Belts at stake: N/A

Ricaia Warren faces Dylan Wright in a light heavyweight bout with no titles on the line.

Ricaia turned pro in 2022 and has a record of 2 wins, 0 losses, including 1 knockout. His last victory was by unanimous decision against Joshua Tai, an experienced but less successful opponent. Given his undefeated streak, Ricaia enters this fight with confidence, especially facing Dylan Wright, who has a track record of more losses than wins and zero knockouts.

Dylan turned professional in 2019 and currently holds a record of 3 wins and 9 losses with no knockouts. His most recent fight ended in a loss by unanimous decision to Michael Helg, a strong upcoming fighter. Considering his past performance and struggle against fighters with strong records, facing Ricaia Warren might pose a significant challenge given Ricaia's unmarred win record.

Alex Leapai Jnr vs Kenny Niko Fight

• Division/Weight: heavy
• Alex Leapai Jnr record: 2-0
• Kenny Niko record: 1-3
• Belts at stake: N/A

Alex Leapai Jnr faces Kenny Niko in a heavyweight class bout.

Alex turned professional in 2024 and has won all 2 of his fights, including one by knockout. His last battle was a TKO victory against Jordan Mororoa who had won just one of five prior contests with no knockouts. Considering Kenny's less stable record of 1 win and 3 losses but with a higher knockout rate (100%), Alex could leverage his consistent winning streak to outperform Kenny, who faces challenges maintaining fight consistency.

Kenny Niko turned professional in 2022. He has one win via TKO and three losses from four fights. His latest win was against Tevita Pangai Jr, an opponent with a stronger record than Kenny’s previous foes. However, Alex Leapai Jnr shows greater promise, overpowering more consistent opponents so far. This match could challenge Kenny as he deals with Alex's growing momentum and early career success.

Liam Messam vs Jordan Simi Fight

• Division/Weight: heavy
• Liam Messam record: 7-0
• Jordan Simi record: 0-1
• Belts at stake: N/A

Liam Messam faces Jordan Simi in a heavyweight clash with no titles on the line.

Liam Messam, a pro since 2015, boasts an undefeated record of 7 wins with 1 KO. His last victory came against Darryl Takerei, an inexperienced fighter with a single loss. Given Messam's consistent success against relatively novice opponents, his seasoned approach should give him a significant edge over Simi, who has been less active and less successful.

Jordan Simi turned professional in 2022 but has faced defeat in his only bout, losing to a more experienced Justin Hodges. Facing Liam Messam, who has numerous fights and maintains an unbeaten streak, poses a daunting challenge for Simi. His lack of winning experience might undermine his chances in this matchup.

Hemi Ahio vs Faiga Opelu Fight

• Division/Weight: heavy
• Hemi Ahio record: 22-1
• Faiga Opelu record: 16-5
• Belts at stake: N/A

Hemi Ahio faces Faiga Opelu in a heavyweight bout.

Hemi Ahio turned pro in 2013 and holds a record of 22 wins (17 by KO), 1 loss, and no draws. Recently, he defeated Lucas Browne by TKO, showcasing his strength against an opponent with a considerable knockout rate. Facing Faiga Opelu, who recently suffered a TKO loss, suggests Ahio enters with a psychological edge, given his momentum and track record of victories by stoppage.

Faiga Opelu began his professional career in 2017. His record stands at 16 wins (12 by KO), 5 losses, and 2 draws. Opelu's last bout was a TKO loss to Joseph Goodall, highlighting vulnerabilities when matched against heavy hitters which might be exploited by Ahio, noted for his knockout power. Despite mixed results in recent fights, the challenge stands tall against an in-form opponent like Ahio.

Nort Beauchamp vs Jackson Jon England Fight

• Division/Weight: light
• Nort Beauchamp record: 19-7
• Jackson Jon England record: 16-3
• Belts at stake: N/A

Nort Beauchamp faces Jackson Jon England; no titles are on the line.

Nort Beauchamp turned pro in 2013 and has a fighting record of 19 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw. His last loss against Youssef Dib by TKO showed challenges against stronger opponents with high KO rates. Given his southpaw stance and experience, facing orthodox fighter England, who has a recent win over a tough opponent, will be demanding yet intriguing due to contrasting styles and resilience under pressure.

Jackson Jon England, known as "Action," began his professional career in 2017. He holds a record of 16 wins, 3 losses, and an impressive half of his victories by KO. His recent split decision win against Jamel Herring demonstrates his capability to compete against experienced fighters. Facing southpaw Nort Beauchamp could test his adaptability and striking power. The matchup is expected to explore the effectiveness of his aggressive style against an experienced left-handed opponent.

Uila Mau'u vs Joe Ageli Fight

• Division/Weight: heavy
• Uila Mau'u record: 7-0
• Joe Ageli record: 3-2
• Belts at stake: N/A

Uila Mau'u faces Joe Ageli in a heavyweight bout with no titles on the line.

Uila Mau'u, a knockout specialist from New Zealand, turned professional in 2023 and boasts an undefeated record of 7 wins with all victories coming by way of knockout. His most recent win was against Veni Mafi, who had a limited professional record. Given Mau'u's consistent knockout power and previous victories over more experienced fighters like Julius Lloyd Long, his match against Ageli is anticipated to highlight his dominant striking skills.

Joe Ageli, also from New Zealand, has a professional record of 3 wins and 2 losses, with two of those victories by knockout. Turning professional in 2020, he recently secured a unanimous decision win over Kurt Lakisoe, an inexperienced fighter. Ageli has faced tougher opponents like Alex Leapai Jnr with mixed results. Mau'u’s aggressive and consistent knockout performance poses a significant challenge to Ageli's less dominant track record in the ring.

Patrick Mailata vs Amato Mataika Fight

• Division/Weight: heavy
• Patrick Mailata record: 6-2
• Amato Mataika record: 4-1
• Belts at stake: N/A

Patrick Mailata faces Amato Mataika in a heavyweight bout with no titles on the line.

Patrick Mailata turned pro in 2018 and has a record of 6 wins, 2 losses, with half of his wins by knockout. In his last fight, he lost by split decision to Antonio Mireles, who had an unbeaten record and a higher KO rate. Facing Mataika, whose experience is lesser compared to Mireles, might allow Mailata a good chance to secure a victory given his exposure to tougher opponents.

Amato Mataika started his professional career in 2022 and boasts 4 wins and 1 loss, knocking out 75% of his opponents. His recent defeat was also via split decision against the undefeated Stevan Ivic, who possesses similar reach but less power than Mataika's previous opponents. Despite this setback and having less ring time than Mailata, Mataika's aggressive style might challenge Mailata if he capitalizes on his power.
