Jai Opetaia vs David Nyika Undercard

Jai Opetaia vs David Nyika Fight

Jai Opetaia faces David Nyika for the Ring Magazine and IBF World Cruiserweight Titles.

  • Division/Weight: cruiser
  • Jai Opetaia record: 26-0
  • David Nyika record: 10-0
  • Belts at stake: Ring Magazine & IBF World Cruiserweight Titles

Jai Opetaia, an undefeated cruiserweight from Australia with a record of 26 wins, turned pro before accumulating significant titles including the current IBF title. Without specific details on his last bout, assessing his current form is tough, but his clean record speaks to consistent performance in the ring.

David Nyika, also undefeated with 10 wins, holds both height and reach advantages. His fewer fights raise questions about experience against top-tier competition like Opetaia. This reach advantage could be critical in managing distance but facing an established champion like Opetaia is a tough test.

Justis Huni vs Shaun Potgieter Fight

Justis Huni faces Shaun Potgieter for the WBO Global & IBF Pan Pacific Heavyweight Titles.

  • Division/Weight: None
  • Justis Huni record: 11-0
  • Shaun Potgieter record: 10-1
  • Belts at stake: WBO Global & IBF Pan Pacific Heavyweight Titles

Justis Huni turned pro recently and has maintained a flawless record of 11 wins. He fights out of Brisbane, Australia, showcasing strong skills without any losses. Given his previous performance and record, Huni appears poised to leverage his winning streak against Potgieter, who has a less impeccable record.

Shaun Potgieter, known as "God's Warrior," has won 10 fights but stumbled once with a loss. Residing in Gauteng, South Africa, Potgieter comes into this fight with less professional experience compared to Huni. This sets up a challenging bout for him given Huni’s undefeated track record and consistency in the ring.

Max McIntyre vs Abdulselam Saman Fight

Max McIntyre faces Abdulselam Saman for the IBF Youth Super Middleweight Title.

  • Division/Weight: super middle
  • Max McIntyre record: 6-0
  • Abdulselam Saman record: 8-1
  • Belts at stake: IBF Youth Super Middleweight Title

Max McIntyre turned pro and rapidly built a 6-0 record, showcasing potential. Without knockout victories and recent bout details, comparing his abilities with Abdulselam, who has more fights but one loss, suggests Max may face a challenging opponent experienced from his previous fights.

Abdulselam Saman boasts an 8-1 record in the same weight class. His experience might give him an edge over Max, who hasn't lost yet but has fewer fights. This background indicates Abdulselam could leverage his upper-hand in experience to tackle the undefeated Max effectively.

Ben Mahoney vs Fan Zhang Fight

Ben Mahoney faces Fan Zhang for the IBF Pan Pacific Super Welterweight Title.

  • Division/Weight: super welter
  • Ben Mahoney record: 14-0
  • Fan Zhang record: 8-2
  • Belts at stake: IBF Pan Pacific Super Welterweight Title

Ben Mahoney turned pro and has built a record of 14 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw. He fights out of Australia with an orthodox stance. His undefeated streak includes no knockout wins, showing consistent performance in all his bouts. Matching against Zhang, who has experienced more losses, may present an advantage due to Mahoney’s proven resilience in maintaining an unbeaten record.

Fan Zhang holds a professional record of 8 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Zhang also uses an orthodox stance and competes from China. His two losses indicate some vulnerabilities which might be exploited by Mahoney's consistent fighting style. However, Zhang's experience in recovering from defeats could add to his strategic depth in this upcoming title match.

Billy McAllister vs Jordan Towns Fight

Billy McAllister will face Jordan Towns.

  • Division/Weight: light heavy
  • Billy McAllister record: 2-0
  • Jordan Towns record: 2-2
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Billy McAllister turned pro recently and boasts a perfect record with 2 wins and no losses. Although he doesn't have a knockout win, his momentum is positive. Facing an opponent like Jordan Towns, with more mixed results, might tilt odds to Billy's favor given their shared weight class and orthodox stance.

Jordan Towns also competes in the light heavyweight division but holds a more balanced record with 2 wins and 2 losses. Without KO victories and the recent uneven performance could suggest that Billy McAllister might leverage his undefeated streak to dominate this matchup.

Austin Aokuso vs Leti Leti Fight

Austin Aokuso will face Leti Leti for the IBF Pan Pacific Light Heavyweight Title.

  • Division/Weight: light heavy
  • Austin Aokuso record: 8-0
  • Leti Leti record: 18-2
  • Belts at stake: IBF Pan Pacific Light Heavyweight Title

Austin Aokuso, known as "Sugar Free," turned pro recently and holds an undefeated record of 8-0. With no knockout wins and based on his recent matches, he'll rely on technical skills against Leti, who has more experience but a considerable reach disadvantage.

Leti Leti brings a record of 18 wins and 2 losses into this fight. Despite lacking knockout prowess like Aokuso, Leti’s experience in more fights might give him strategic advantages, particularly in handling high-pressure fights which could be pivotal given Austin's shorter professional tenure.

Taylah Gentzen vs Shauna Browne Fight

Taylah Gentzen faces Shauna Browne with no belts on the line.

  • Division/Weight: None
  • Taylah Gentzen record: 6-0
  • Shauna Browne record: 4-0
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Taylah Gentzen turned pro and quickly tallied a record of 6 wins, 0 losses, with zero knockouts. Hailing from Australia, his unbeaten record showcases solid fight skills but lacks knockout power. Facing previous opponents with similar records suggests that against Browne, who shares an undefeated streak, this match might be closer and focus more on technique given their similar styles.

Shauna Browne also boasts an undefeated record: 4 wins and zero losses. Another fighter without a knockout victory, residing in Ireland, sets up a technical matchup against Gentzen. Both fighters share orthodox stances and mirror records which points to a strategic bout that's possibly less about brute force and more about precision in execution.

Tony Ingram vs Runqi Zhou Fight

Tony Ingram faces Runqi Zhou in a super featherweight bout.

  • Division/Weight: super feather
  • Tony Ingram record: 6-0
  • Runqi Zhou record: 8-2
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Tony Ingram turned pro recently and boasts an undefeated record of 6 wins. With no knockouts, his strength seems to be in his tactical approach. Although specifics on his last fight aren't provided, his unbeaten streak sets high expectations against Zhou's more mixed record.

Runqi Zhou, known as "Fist of Fury," brings more experience into the ring with a record of 8 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Despite several losses, his greater number of fights might give him strategic depth against Ingram who has fewer total fights. Both fighters share an orthodox stance which levels the playing field somewhat in their upcoming match-up.

Teremoana Junior vs Osasu Otobo Fight

Teremoana Junior faces Osasu Otobo with no belts on the line.

  • Division/Weight: None
  • Teremoana Junior record: 5-0
  • Osasu Otobo record: 11-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Teremoana Junior, a pro since 2022, holds an undefeated record with 5 wins. With his significant reach and height, Junior uses his size to dominate opponents, evidenced in his recent bouts. His previous opponents lacked experience that Osasu brings, creating a challenging match that tests Junior’s ability against a seasoned fighter.

Osasu Otobo turned professional in 2019 and has an impressive record of 11 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw. Despite having more fights than Junior, Otobo lacks specifics on his reach or height details, which may put him at a physical disadvantage. His experience against diverse fighters positions him advantageously in terms of tactics but contends with Junior’s physical dominance.

Xavier Fletcher vs Freddy Doidoi Fight

Xavier Fletcher faces Freddy Doidoi in a light heavyweight clash.

  • Division/Weight: light heavy
  • Xavier Fletcher record: 4-0
  • Freddy Doidoi record: 3-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Xavier Fletcher, an unbeaten fighter from Australia, turned pro recently and holds a record of 4 wins, all by knockout. With powerful strikes and no losses, he's increasingly seen as a tough competitor. Considering Doidoi has one loss without known knockout power, Fletcher's chances seem strong due to his potent offensive abilities.

Freddy Doidoi hails from Fiji with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss; none via knockout. Lacking significant reach data or noted special victories makes it challenging to predict his effectiveness against someone as physically imposing as Fletcher. Fletcher's unblemished record and size could pose significant challenges for Doidoi.

Albert Tu'ua vs Kodi Shallali Fight

Albert Tu'ua faces Kodi Shallali with no belts on the line.

  • Division/Weight: None
  • Albert Tu'ua record: 1-1
  • Kodi Shallali record: 1-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Albert Tu'ua, turned professional recently and has a balanced record of 1 win and 1 loss. He's shown no clear dominance with knockouts but brings heartfelt energy from Samoa to Queensland. His last bouts provide little footing for decisive predictions against Shallali, but their identical records set the stage for an even matchup.

Kodi Shallali also holds a symmetrical fight record of 1 win and 1 loss. Matching his upcoming opponent, their encounter likely hinges on tactical execution rather than experience. Their similar stances suggest a tight contest where strategy will tip the scale.
