Justis Huni is to fight Leandro Robutti of Argentina on the undercard of Conor Wallace-Asemahle Wellem on December 11 at the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, Australia.
The heavyweight, 25, is emerging as one of Australia’s most promising fighters, and fights for the 11th time as a professional just four days after his compatriot Liam Paro defends his IBF junior-welterweight title against Richardson Hitchins in Puerto Rico.
“I’m excited to be back,” said Huni, who at the same venue in July stopped Troy Pilcher. “I’m ready to build more momentum with each fight.”
Robutti is 38, and ahead of the eight-round contest Huni’s promoter Mark Francis of Tazman Fighters said: “We need Justis to stay active and keep honing his skills. An active boxer is a happy boxer.”
The light-heavyweight contest between Wallace and Wellem has been scheduled for 10 rounds.
“I’m ready for a world-title shot, but I’m not looking past Wellem,” Wallace said. “He’s dangerous, and I don’t see this fight going the distance.”
There will be a further fight at 175lbs, over eight rounds, between Austin Aokuso and Lucas Miller. Danny Keating, Tyler Blizzard, Xavier Fletcher, and Max McIntyre are also scheduled to feature on the undercard.
