    A wake-up call of the best kind for Kiwi boxer David Nyika

    A wake-up call of the best kind for Kiwi boxer David Nyika


    He's been called up on just three-weeks notice to challenge Jai Opetaia for the IBF cruiserweight world title on the Gold Coast...following an injury to the Australian star's original opponent - German Huseyin Cinkara .

    Nyika says he was in bed when he received the news.



    Both Nyika and Opetaia are undefeated - Nyika 10-and-oh and the Aussie 26-and-oh.
