justis Huni is leading tributes after the sudden death of boxing โtrainer Keri Fui,who collapsed at a gym in โคBrisbaneโค on Tuesday,November 28,2023. Fui, aโ highly respected figure in Australian โคboxing, โwas preparing Huni for his upcoming returnโ to the ring.
“He truly had our backs through thick and thin,” Huni saeid in a statement.”We’ll miss his laughter,โข his โฃguidance and his โbig energy everyโค single day.”
Fui’s death comes ahead โฃof Huni’s scheduled fight against Huseyin Cinkara on December 6, โคwhere heโข will defend his IBF and The Ring โฃcruiserweight titles. Huni, 24, is recoveringโค from his first โprofessional loss – a knockout defeat to โคFabio Wardley in England in September, a fight he tookโ onโฃ short โnotice whileโ battling an elbow injury that prevented sparring.Despite dominatingโ the โfirst ten rounds, Wardley secured aโ one-punch knockout. Wardley has since defeated Joseph Parker and โฃis now in contention for a title shot against Oleksandr Usyk. Following the loss, Huni parted ways with his trainer Mark Wilson.
Huni recently stated, “After my fight โwith Fabio, my stocks went up.โข So after โขseeing that fight and sadly parker getting stopped, they went up again.”
