Why not have a fight at home, you'd surely more than be confident with for less money? Junior really doesn't have the profile in NZ he should have.
Can only fight 3-4 times a year now and we have 3 fights on contract this year till feb so a very busy schedule. Don’t want to lose money having a fight if the money is low. Everyone has to be realistic with how much heavies get paid at a certain level. We choose to go to USA to get the profile as Joe and Duco have done a great job here and I felt it would be his market for some time. We have got our heads down working hard ( although junior has some things medically to deal with)
