Heavyweight sensation Justis Huni insists that his No.1 priority remains an Olympic boxing gold medal, despite his hectic schedule in the pro ranks.
Huni (3-0, 3 KOs) will on Wednesday defend his Australian title against Christian Tsoye (5-3-2, 4 KOs) in Sydney, followed by a blockbuster clash against NRL great Paul Gallen (11-0-1, 6 KOs) on June 16.
The Tsoye fight is a relatively low-key affair, while he will concede most of the purse to Gallen when they clash in three weeks. The Tokyo Games are foremost in Huni s mind. Australia hasn t had an Olympic boxing medallist since Grahame Cheney at Seoul 1988 and Huni intends to go one better than his silver.

Why can t he (Folau) play, Iles said. The most telling piece of data of all is that two-thirds of rugby league supporters believe sponsors have too big a role in deciding who gets to play and who doesn t. The ACL is committed to a free and fair opportunity for all Australians to play sport and earn a living without fear of discrimination. Anything less is an abuse of human rights.
