He took a fight on late notice in his last, but Justis Huni has had all of the time he needs to prepare for Frazer Clarke in this one.
Both Frazer Clarke and Justis Huni have suffered at the hands of Fabio Woodley, but they’re preparing to go head-to-head in looking for redemption at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London.
Huni is Australia’s most technical heavyweight in a long time. At once a contender, he’s looking to re-establish himself in the division. Meanwhile, Clarke – a 2018 Commonwealth Games gold medalist and Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist – is at a crossroads with two defeats across the first 12 fights of his career.
On a massive card alongside Connor Benn and Tyson Fury, Huni has a chance to put his name up in lights as a major player in the heavyweight division.
Justis Huni
While Justis Huni lost his last fight, he did so ahead on the judges’ scorecards. Dominant throughout the first 10 rounds, it took a brilliant right hand and one of the great comebacks in boxing in recent years for Huni to taste defeat.

Building his reputation on speed, balance and fundamentals, Huni is a heavy $1.14 favourite to re-establish himself as a contender in the heavyweight division. Operating behind a sharp jab, he has the tools to control the distance and outbox his opponents, particularly those who fight like his opponent in this one.
While his last ended in defeat, it’s a prime teaching opportunity for Huni who controlled long stretches of the fight. His dominance highlighted his skill set, but the knockout blow served as a reminder of how quickly things can change in the division.
With the superior reputation and technical ability, in concert with his newfound focus on getting through each fight unscathed, Huni is expecting to get the job done.
“It almost got me there in the last fight but by just working on those adjustments and not switching off, I feel like we’ll be ready for this fight and bring a big bang. A big bang.”
Frazer Clarke
The markets paint a fairly accurate picture of the expectations ahead of this fight, with Frazer Clarke a $5 outsider to win. He’s out even further to do it by decision at $13.
Having made the transition from an impressive amateur career, Frazer Clarke came into professional boxing with high expectations. However, his last fight made it two losses when falling to fellow Brit Jeamie TKV by split decision.

While he has not lived up to those expectations with his results, the eye test suggests there is still plenty to unlock. He’s strong, imposing and capable of grinding down his opponents with relentless pressure and super strength. Like most fights, Clarke will carry a size advantage into the ring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Clarke will be looking to use his reputation as an enforcer to disrupt Huni’s rhythm, force close-range exchanges and turn the fight into a brawl. From there, he can lean into his 78% knockout ratio and look for the big punch at $9.50 that Wardley has proven capable of knocking Huni out.
Justis Huni v Frazer Clarke Boxing Tips
So much points to Huni as a massive favourite.
At 27 years old, he’s younger, has superior hand speed, more accurate punch selection and is, put simply, a better boxer than Clarke. However, he’s giving up a size advantage. Clarke is a big unit with knockout power. His two inches in height and 1.5 inches in reach add an element Huni can’t replicate.
The size mismatch prompts a contrast in styles as the mover and technician in Huni stands in front of a pressure fighter in Clarke.
Huni has mentioned that he knows his plan for the fight. It likely involves controlling the range and exiting safely after combinations. Banking early rounds with cleaner work will set up the rest of the fight. He’s already dominated a top fighter in Wardley. If Huni can repeat that high-level performance and avoid the lapse in concentration late, his movement, speed and selection should see him through this fight.
