    Alex Leapai V Travis Walker on June 30 in Brisbane

    Contracts are signed and the fight is on.....congratz to team Lionheart for taking this fight :good

    Alex is lined up to fight Walker 34 - 4 then has Owen Beck listed shortly after

    If Alex wins these 2 fights it could get him ranked high enough to get a shot IMO

    Thoughts on the outcome?

    PS: Congratz to ESB own matchmaker Ipswich Express for doing the leg work :hi:

    good fight for Alex, but a big step up, Walker was fighting on HBO only last year or the year before against Areola

    Great work Ash. A great talent & a timely reminder that there are other genuine fighters out there.


    Can't wait. Alex is a bit of a dark horse by comparison to other blokes on the scene.
    Wait until mainstream Oz gets a load of him. He's a wrecking ball.

    Agree...congratz to the guys for taking this big fight and for getting the yanks out here to fight.

    Credit goes to Alex's manager Noel Thornberry for stepping up his charge and ESB own Ippy for chasing down the big fight.

    Im sure they have the fight plan to get the win :good

    Great fight for ALex. Be a real tester. I Watched Travis when he knocked down Chris Arreola in the 2nd round then Arreola came back strong in the 3rd. Big puncher so it should be a real good match up. Alex will need to come fit and strong if he's to go the distance with Travis. He has a high work rate once he gets going...

    Well this shows some serious intent on Alex's part , good luck to the fella and well done to Travis on travelling . great fight and we will know exactly where Alex stands after this one ,

    Derek Chisora or Sam Sexton would have been a decent gauge for Alex at this stage of his career but this fight is imo is a few rungs up the ladder beyond those two i just named . :happy
