Unfortunately, it kinda shows the difference between Aussie and NZ boxers. A 12-0 nz boxer gets beaten by a 9-3 Aussie one. Seems to be the trend this yr - unbeaten nz prospects exposed. Saying that, respect to anyone stepping inside the ring...

Fight Fans unfortunately today we have to announce that the scheduled July 15th NZPBA Cruiserweight Title bout between Asher Derbyshire and Zane Hopman has been cancelled. This is disappointing for both Asher, Zane and ourselves as the promoters however an Injury has put a stop to the event coming together and that is the nature of our sport.
We will be working tirelessly to have this bout back in Masterton in the near future. However for the time being the health of the fighters must come first.
We thank everyone for there support of this event we will be back!! All ticket purchasers will be refunded.
Thank you
CTP Boxing

James Wilson beat Lui Te'o in his pro debut by UD. His fight with Conrad Lam at the end of the month could be a good one.
