Teremoana Teremoana Meets Dangerous
Hemi Ahio In Melbourne On Nov.18
Matchroom Boxing returns to Australia for a Trans-Tasman
tear-up as undefeated Teremoana Teremoana takes on dangerous
Hemi Ahio on Wednesday, November 18 at Pullman Melbourne
Albert Park – live on Fox Sports and DAZN’s Kayo Sports in
Australia.
Towering Aussie hero Teremoana has won all 12 of his
professional fights to date by way of knockout and has been
heralded by promoter Eddie Hearn as a future World Champion.
Now New Zealand rival Ahio, a former WBC Middle East
Heavyweight ruler, stands in the unbeaten Olympian’s way
next as the pair prepare to headline another exciting night
of Championship boxing Down Under next month.
And Teremoana is relishing the challenge as he prepares to
headline in Melbourne.
"I'm excited to be fighting again down in Melbourne and this
time headlining against a strong opponent from New Zealand
in Hemi Ahio,” said Teremoana.
“I am really looking forward to the challenge he will bring.
Nothing changes for me. I am here to prove I am the best and
Ahio is the next obstacle in my way. I respect what he's
achieved but he shouldn't have taken this fight.
"I've been training hard and with another five weeks of
preparation until fight night I plan to show the difference
in levels. God willing, I will be victorious."
However, Ahio – nicknamed ’The Heat' – has warned Teremoana
that he is ready to crank up the temperature and unleash
everything he has when the two collide.
"I'm in great shape, maybe in the best shape I have been my
entire career,” said Ahio, who has lost just once in 26
contests with 25 wins on his resumé, including 19 stoppages.
"There's going to be fireworks, and we will both be dropping
big bombs. I’m ready to throw down with the big man. Let’s
go!”
Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn is looking forward to
big night Down Under with a card stacked with homegrown
talent.
“Australian boxing is flying and I am excited to be
returning to Melbourne for what promises to be a brilliant
fight card, headlined by the country’s most destructive
fighter,” said Hearn.
“We seriously have a superstar on our hands in Teremoana. He
must close out this year with another big statement – but
he’ll need to be at his best as Hemi Ahio is a very
dangerous operator with plenty of experience.
“Teremoana truly has the potential to go very far in the
Heavyweight division. I honestly believe he has the tools to
become a future World Champion. He is a man Australia needs
to get behind."
