Justis Huni Mourns Trainer Keri Fui Before Frazer Clarke Fight
Justis Huni will return to the ring on Saturday. He meets Frazer Clarke on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Loss of a coach
Huni has been grieving the sudden death of his head coach, Keri Fui. Fui collapsed in the gym, fell into a coma, and later died.
Huni and his strength and conditioning coach were first on the scene. They offered medical assistance to their friend and teammate.
Time away and motivation
The death forced Huni to step back from training. He said he took time to process the loss before returning to the gym.
He described Fui as more than a coach. Huni committed to dedicating future performances to his memory.
Training camp and coaching
Huni is now working with Australian coach Josh Arnold. He has resumed full training ahead of the London card.
In interviews with Filmogaz.com, Huni explained that returning to work helped pull him out of a negative space. He plans to honor Fui with a strong performance.
Recent form and lessons learned
The 26-year-old last fought Fabio Wardley in June. The bout ended in a 10th-round stoppage after Huni had built a clear lead.
Huni said the experience was valuable. He fought with a short camp and some injuries, and he learned from the night at Portman Road.
Looking ahead
- Huni had been scheduled to rematch Kiki Leutele in December before the tragedy.
- He still sees a possible rematch with Wardley if he has a full camp and stays healthy.
- Wardley must focus on a WBO title defence against Daniel Dubois on May 9.
- Frazer Clarke arrives as an Olympic bronze medallist and a tough opponent.
Justis Huni mourns trainer Keri Fui before Frazer Clarke fight, but he arrives determined. Victory would be a tribute and a step toward bigger goals.
