Tongan‑Australian boxer Justis Huni says he feels honoured and grateful as he prepares to face British Olympic medallist Frazer Clarke on one of the sport’s biggest platforms — the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov, streaming worldwide on Netflix on April 11.
Huni, who last fought in London before suffering a dramatic late knockout loss to Fabio Wardley, returns determined to showcase his technical prowess and represent Australia with pride in what is seen as a pivotal comeback moment in his career.
Huni, 37, will return to the ring at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the blockbuster 10‑fight card will feature some of the biggest names in British and international boxing.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Huni said he was thankful for the moment and fully aware of the scale of the global audience awaiting him.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to step onto one of the biggest stages in boxing. Big respect to Frazer — Olympic medallist and a tough competitor — but I’m coming to do what I always do: represent Australia with pride and show the world what I’m capable of. I’ve been putting in the work, staying focused, and I’m ready for this moment.”
Huni (14‑1, 9 KOs), widely regarded as one of Australia’s most technically gifted heavyweights, enters the fight looking to rebuild momentum after suffering the first defeat of his professional career — a dramatic 10th‑round knockout at the hands of Fabio Wardley on June 7, 2025.
Despite dominating the majority of the rounds, Huni was caught late by a powerful right hand in a bout that has since been remembered for its dramatic comeback finish.
The matchup against Clarke (9‑2‑1, 7 KOs) is considered pivotal for both fighters as they attempt to reclaim ground in the competitive world‑level heavyweight rankings.
Clarke, a Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist, is also navigating his own comeback path following recent domestic setbacks. The pair’s meeting has been described by analysts as a high‑stakes clash that could significantly reshape their respective career trajectories.
The April 11 card — the first major Netflix‑streamed boxing event of 2026 — features a stacked lineup, including Conor Benn vs Regis Prograis and Jeamie TKV vs Richard Riakporhe, leading into the highly anticipated Fury–Makhmudov main event.
With the global spotlight fixed firmly on London, Huni says the timing feels perfect for him to make a statement.
“I’ve been putting in the work,” he said. “Staying focused. This is the moment — and I’m ready.”
Huni vs Clarke will open the main card as one of the most closely watched heavyweight contests of the night.
