Top Heavyweight Boxers in the World

An Unusual Professional Start

Justis Huni 13–1 (7 KOs) won the Australian heavyweight title in his professional debut, stopping Faiga Opelu in 2020. It was an ambitious beginning for a boxer whose strengths lie in quick combinations, movement and work at close range.

Wins over Paul Gallen and Joseph Goodall established him at home. He extended his experience internationally by beating Andrew Tabiti in Mexico and Kevin Lerena in Saudi Arabia, then added victories over Troy Pilcher, Leandro Robutti and Shaun Potgieter.

Defeat and a Successful Return

Fabio Wardley knocked out Huni in round ten in Ipswich in June 2025, ending his unbeaten run. Huni returned against Frazer Clarke at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April 2026 and won a ten-round majority decision.

That victory restored momentum after the Wardley defeat. Huni has developed from a leading Australian prospect into a heavyweight with experience against international contenders. No next fight has been confirmed.
