His shorter-term goal, however, is to prove he is Australia’s best fighter in his division. The Brisbane-based knockout artist has his sights set on an eventual domestic showdown with Justis Huni, a bout Teremoana is confident could sell out a stadium there.

Assuming Teremoana (11-0, 11 KOs) overcomes American underdog DeAndre Savage (11-1, 11 KOs) on Wednesday night at The Star Gold Coast in Broadbeach, Australia, he hopes his promoter, Matchroom Boxing, can arrange a fight with Huni at some point in the foreseeable future. Brisbane’s Huni (13-1, 7 KOs) has lost only to former WBO champ Fabio Wardley (20-1-1, 19 KOs), who knocked him out in the 10th round of a fight he was winning handily on the scorecards 14 months ago.

“Every single heavyweight in this world is on my radar,” Teremoana told DAZN News. “It’s whether they’re close to me or not, or whether they’re over here. And at the moment, like the closest one to me is Savage. So, he is my priority. But when you say, ‘Yeah, you want to fight Justis?’ I want to fight Justis. I want to fight Itauma. I want to fight Hrgovic. I want to fight Dubois. I want to fight Usyk, Kabayel. I want to fight all these people. But obviously I’ve got to earn my way there.”

The 28-year-old Teremoana, who went 1-1 against Huni in amateur matches, later explained during an interview with The Ring that he doesn’t expect to encounter Huni next. Whenever they fight, a victory over Huni would strengthen Teremoana’s resume because the skillful boxer-puncher is a credible contender who is better than anyone he has agreed to box since the 2024 Olympian made his pro debut in July 2021.

“Touching on Justis again,” Teremoana said, “because I just want to make it clear I don’t care too much for the politics – I only want to prove that I am the best fighter in the world. But when it comes to Justis, I’d love that fight. I do think that we’ll be able to fill stadiums because some people say he’s the best Australian fighter. Some people say I’m the best Australian fighter. I say I’m the best Australian fighter that’s ever been in Australia.”

The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Teremoana has produced eight straight first-round knockouts. He is a 30-1 favorite over Las Vegas’ Savage, according to FanDuel, in advance of a 10-round main event DAZN will stream internationally (10 a.m. BST in the UK; 5 a.m. ET in the United States).
