    Probably a bit early for Nyika, he still has flaws that he can remedy and more to develop. But when you get the opportunity to fight for the championship you should take it! Some people goes years without a shot even being the top contender.

    Most likely an Opetaia stoppage, but Nyika could very well have a good chin and he has decent power, could see the upset being a possibility.

    Yeah, Not sure what round ,but Nyika is biting off more than he can chew in this one and will have his lights punched out in the first half of the fight.

    It’s got a touch of the Ellis Zorro’s about it. Jai taking zero risk against a somewhat unknown with an unbeaten record who is taking an enormous step up.

    Yeah, as good as Nyika seems, Jai, I believe, is levels above. We'll see soon.

    Being beaten by Jai so early in your professional career won't tarnish your record significantly.

    I think Jai is too naturally talented with his pure boxing skills,and will slowly peel back David's Layers,and eventually get the TKO/KO.
    But not without a fight!
    Make no mistake,David Nyika is a machine,and if Jai makes a mistake,those long range missiles could break through,and he's a great finisher.
    Great fight coming our way 4 sure!

    They had to find an opponent 3 weeks out from the fight due to an injury withdrawal.
