The Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame (ANBHOF) announced new inductees at their annual gala dinner at Crown Casino, Melbourne. Those inducted were : Howard Leigh - Non-Combatants category. Danny Green - Millennial category. Glen ‘Kunga’ Kelly - Modern category. Billy McCall - Pioneer category. Bobby Delaney - Old Timers category. Paul Moore - Veterans category. Ralph Dupas - International category. Other awards : Promoter Angelo Di Carlo received the Gus Mercurio Memorial Award for his services to the sport. Jai Opetaia earned Fighter of the Year honors.
38 year old Tommy Karpency 31-8-1 has the gig against Nyika. Karpency fought less than a month ago but it was his first fight in 3 years.
They managed to get another southpaw too and obviously Nyika's camp would have been concentrated that way for Capo.
