Haumono - New Zealand born with Tongan descent v.s a Nigerian who had his first fight in Australia 2 months ago, whilst I see it as an interesting fight for the life of me I can't understand why it's for the Australian heavyweight title.

Egobi showed some chin but ultimately took too many flush solid shots. Decent fight.

The Australian title does not mean as much as it used to. The ridiculous rule that an Australian champion who wins a regional or world title has to relinquish the Australian title has devalued it.
