Had to advance his record so he was marketable enough to fight Wilder next, FYI, after that fight he's chasing unifications with AJ and then his final step to world domination will be taking on Parker in the first unifiction bout to be staged on a superyacht on the high seas between Fiji and Samoa.
But seriously the joke is on Lou Dibella thinking he'd signed NZ's second best heavy behind Parker... everyone knows the best heavy to ever come out of NZ is the (no) hitman
Good work markk I think Jn will be the complete package
I know this might not be popular but Junior should NOT be fighting Daniel Tai, that is a horrible mismatch, like literally tai could get seriously, seriously hurt.
Fa is WAY beyond that level, WAY beyond. Junior is almost a foot taller, over 10 years younger, and naturally 100lbs heavier. (tai has fought at 166lbs before, fa as heavy as 273)
Daniel is a lovely guy, i don't want to see him hurt
I get that you still want to put him in with easy beats but come on now...
If anything bad happens to daniel i'll be very unimpressed with team Fa, who is MORE than ready for a chauncey welliver or someone of that nature.

I think its all about getting that nz title, for what its worth. Then can move onto a regional pan pacific title. Every little helps I guess. Also wouldnt say Tai is worse than that Argentine. But agrred, would like to see Junior Fa tested. Tai isnt gonna do that. Would like to see him in vs Pettaway, Keith thompson, Bergman et al in Alabama.
The thing is is that Tai is probably Fa's biggest test so far which isn't saying a lot but there have been worse matchups than this one for him.

hey guys. Danial is a very rugged good chinned man, never been knocked out in all his fights. we genuinely arnt taking it lightly . we wanted tests at both duco cards. obviously the argi looked great on paper but was 3 inches than we thought . and didn't come to fight. it is hard as we are fighting on other peoples show who have budgets for brining people in. obviously that will change as Junior goes to the states and Lou put on the better guys. we plan to manly fight aussies domestically as that is the budget for local promoters . id say the first fight in the usa will be a learning experience rather than a test but the likes of bergman are only a few months off id say.
Is Junior relocating there full time or switching between the countries?

based out of NZ with 3 fights per year minimum in states. will bring sparing here or go there to spa before bigger fights. He has a very well balanced team here from treatment to training . also Junior is a family man with young kids so helpful with extended family here. i think it is a good balance. in the future he may camp for longer but id think 4 weeks max at this stage
