Olympics remain a priority for Huni despite turning professional Monday, 28 December 2020
Young boxer Justis Huni is looking to win a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics for Australia, insists his promoter, as Huni prepares to be one of the few professional boxers at the Games.
Huni, a bronze medallist at the 2019 International Boxing Association (AIBA) World Championships in Yekaterinburg in Russia, qualified for Tokyo 2020 earlier this year.
Fighting in the super-heavyweight division, Huni was second at the Asia and Oceania qualification tournament, behind Uzbekistan s Bakhodir Jalolov - the world champion.
Huni, 21, is additionally a former AIBA youth world champion.
Due to a change to eligibility rules ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympics, professional boxers are able to compete at the Games, and Huni has taken advantage of this by turning pro.
