Two time Kiwi commonwealth games boxing champion David Nyika believes his successful amateur career has set him up for the big time

The 25-year-old will make his professional debut on the undercard of the Joseph Parker versus Junior Fa bout.
Nyika won gold in the light heavyweight division in Glasgow in 2014, and then again as a heavyweight four years later on the Gold Coast.

Although his opponent is unconfirmed, a candidate is Australian Ben Kelleher, who boasts a 13 and two record.
