Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nyika is only the second New Zealand boxer to win Olympic gold, making every pro fight a national event. Karpency once dropped Adonis Stevenson as a 20-1 underdog.
The 'Inter-Continental' title is boxing's participation trophy — Nyika's team is buying cheap ranking points to force a real world title shot within 18 months.
