The 25-year-old will take on fellow Kiwi, David Light, in Auckland tonight for the WBO Cruiserweight Oriental belt, with the winner likely to get a top five ranking and a shot at a world title fight in 2021.
Naturally a super middleweight, Auimatagi is embracing the chance to fight two divisions up. I ve been here before. I ve been the underdog, I ve fought guys who are undefeated before so I m prepared for this fight coming up, he said.
Auimatagi who trains out of Papatoetoe Boxing Club, has a 13 win 1 loss record, while Light is 15 and 0.
