Australian heavyweight Teremoana Teremoana will fight New Zealander Hemi Ahio in Melbourne on 18 November.
Unbeaten Australian heavyweight Teremoana Teremoana will headline a Matchroom Boxing card in Melbourne on 18 November against New Zealander Hemi Ahio, whose record stands at 25-1. The bout has been fast-tracked after originally being scheduled for next year.
Teremoana, who competed at the Paris Olympics, is a perfect 12-0 as a professional. He boasts nine first-round knockouts and a dozen stoppages before the third round. Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn moved the fight forward to provide Teremoana with a sterner test before the year ends.
Hearn said: 'We seriously have a superstar on our hands in Teremoana and he must close out this year with another big statement. I honestly believe he has the tools to become a future world champion.' Ahio is expected to provide Teremoana's toughest challenge yet, tipped to finally take him beyond the second round.
