The fight against Germany's Osasu Otobo ended quickly when Teremoana landed a straight right followed by a devastating left hook. This quick finish solidified the 26-year-old's reputation as a dangerous prospect in the heavyweight division.
After the fight, Teremoana shared his thoughts:
"First and foremost I want to give all glory and praise to my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, without him this wouldn't be possible. Yeah, very happy to get this done. 57 seconds. I thought I was going to go a bit longer but he wanted to fight. If you want to come and fight I'm gonna come and take it from you. I'm glad he wanted to engage and I got the job done … I just trust on everything I did in training, trust my coaches and everything they told me. It shows on the night."
Teremoana's promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, couldn't contain his excitement about the young heavyweight's potential:
"They say don't get excited too early… It's time to get excited now. Australian boxing is on fire right now, this is the future right here. I truly believe that Australia has a great chance at a future world heavyweight champion. I want the whole country to get behind this guy. He's a young prospect, a great man and he can really fight. This is a dangerous, dangerous man. Six fights, six knockouts, I believe he's going all the way to the world heavyweight title. You could be looking at Australia's world heavyweight champion here."
Teremoana's journey to professional success started with an impressive amateur career. He won gold at the 2023 Pacific Games and reached the quarter-finals of the 2024 Olympics, where he lost to eventual gold medalist Bakhodir Jalolov of Uzbekistan.
The Campbelltown native turned pro after the Olympics and quickly racked up four wins before signing with Matchroom. His debut under Hearn's promotion in December 2024 ended with a first-round victory over Volodymyr Katsuk.
