Mose Auimatangi Jr after thrilling fight with David Light

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.

The fight was to feature on the Parker-Fa undercard, but after that bout was postponed it will now headline as what's being dubbed as one of the best domestic fights New Zealand has seen in years.

The two-time New Zealand middleweight champion said the upcoming fight is a big risk.

"When we got the call up for this fight I was shocked because there were a lot of cruiserweights in our country that didn't want to take it, so we put up our hand and said we're going to take the risk."

"It's a big risk because this guy he beats people up, he doesn't just win, he beats people up, and if we win, the world is our oyster and a lot of doors will open up for us both internationally and in New Zealand."
