Justis Huni agrees Australia homecoming against Troy Pilcher

Australian heavyweight Justis Huni is to fight Troy Pilcher on July 25 at Fortitude Music Hall in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.

Eighteen months will have passed since he last fought in his home country, and the 25 year old will do at a time when Australian boxing is on a relative high, largely as a consequence of the success of Jai Opetaia at cruiserweight, and Liam Paro winning the IBF junior-welterweight title from Subriel Matias and being on course to make the first defence of his title in Australia later in 2024.

“We are thrilled to bring such a high-stakes fight to Brisbane, and doing it with Matchroom Boxing and Gold Star Promotions is groundbreaking for Australian boxing” said Mick Francis of Tasman Fighters. 

“Justis Huni’s return marks a significant moment for Australian boxing, and with Troy Pilcher stepping into the ring, fans can expect nothing short of an unforgettable night.”
