They're just starting out, and look pretty ordinary going by their records, so why would you want them to fight? Animosity?

I’ll put your comment down to a lack of knowledge around the current national boxing scene.

Helg & Waitai are considered the 2 best light heavyweights in the country, that’s why I would want them to fight.  

Professional boxing on a national level is abysmal & the commissioning bodies are barely active. They need to build some grass-roots rivalries, put out national rankings & titles with regular events for our professionals to compete against each other for. This fight would be a great start.

My bad, Helg is the NZ light heavyweight champ and is undefeated. Not sure about Waitai...

Yes, Helg is the current NZPCB Light Heavyweight Champion & Waitai should really only have one loss on his record. A UD loss to Mikhailovich 2 years ago at Super Middle. I thought he should have won the Jack Gipp & Jack Bowen fights, as well as his draw with Wuzhati Nuerlang for the vacant WBO Oriental Light Heavyweight Title.
