- Frazer Clarke (259lb) vs Justis Huni (246lb) — 10 rounds, heavyweight, on the Fury undercard tonight.
- A genuine crossroads fight for both Olympians. The winner stays in the heavyweight top-15 conversation. The loser starts a long climb back.
- Luke's pick: Huni on points. The Australian's hands are quicker, his footwork is sharper, and Clarke still struggles with mobile boxers.
Right Then — A Real Fight Between Two Real Amateurs
Right then. If you're not already sold on the Fury Makhmudov undercard, this fight should do it. Frazer Clarke and Justis Huni are two of the most credentialed amateurs of their generation — Clarke took Olympic bronze for Team GB in Tokyo, Huni represented Australia at the same Games and was regarded as one of the most skilled heavyweights in the world at 265-plus wins in the unpaid ranks. And tonight they fight each other for ten rounds.
Let's not beat around the bush. This is a proper crossroads fight. Both men are sitting around the edge of the world top fifteen. The winner gets a fringe contender slot and a push toward a world title eliminator. The loser goes home, takes stock, and has a long conversation about what the rest of the career looks like.
The Weigh-In — And What I Took From It
Clarke at 259lb, Huni at 246lb. Clarke is a proper 6'5" British heavyweight, physically imposing, clearly the bigger man on the scales. Huni at 246 looks lean — that's roughly the same weight he was against Joseph Parker last year in that unfortunate one-round stoppage loss, and it suggests Australia's team want him moving.
For a man who wants to box on the back foot, Huni came in at the right weight. For a man who wants to walk him down and make it a physical fight, Clarke did too. Both camps were happy. The face-off was civil. Respect all round.
The Fight — Where the Win Lives
Clarke's path is obvious. Use the size, use the reach, plant the lead hand, walk Huni into the ropes, and get ugly in the clinch. Clarke is a proper amateur boxer when he wants to be, but what's going to win this fight for him is physicality — the same template that Agit Kabayel used against Frank Sanchez: make it ugly, make it heavy, take the rhythm away from the technical man.
Huni's path is to box. Quick jab, circle off, and use the range the amateur system taught him. His fundamentals are genuinely elite. The knock on Huni has always been chin and gas tank, not boxing ability. The Parker loss was a freak one-punch thing. If he sets his feet properly and stays off the ropes, he makes Clarke look slow.
What nobody is talking about: Clarke's own stoppage loss to Fabio Wardley in the 2024 rematch. That is the shadow hanging over Frazer. He is a brilliant fighter, he's a class amateur, but his chin has been tested at this level and it wasn't pretty. Huni doesn't have Wardley's power, but he has the hand speed to make Frazer pay for any slip.
My Pick — Huni UD10
I'm going Huni on points. 97-94 or thereabouts. The Australian's speed and footwork should bank the first five rounds comfortably, and I think Clarke's corner will be shouting for a finish from the sixth onwards — which is usually when Clarke gets into trouble against mobile men. Late rounds will be closer because Frazer's conditioning has always been good, but it'll be a clear enough decision.
Upside pick on the opposite? Clarke TKO7 if he gets Huni against the ropes and the Australian's chin gives way. It's a live path. But if it's a pure boxing contest over ten rounds, I think Huni's feet are too good for Frazer.
One More Thing
Make no mistake, this is the kind of crossroads fight that fills a good card. Two elite amateurs with something to prove, on a huge stage, in front of a stadium crowd, streaming free to the world. It's the kind of fight that used to get buried on YouTube ten years ago. Now it's on Netflix. That alone is a brilliant advert for the direction this sport is moving in.
Enjoy it. Huni UD10.
