When it comes to New Zealand boxing often the spotlight hovers over the pro stars like Joseph Parker.
However waiting in the wings is another star in the form of David Nyika.
David has carved out an impressive amateur career which has included winning Commonwealth Games gold not just once, but twice.
When he won gold at Glasgow in 2014 he became the first New Zealand boxer since David Kenny in 1990 to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal.
Twenty-four-year-old Nyika was Olympic Games this year until Covid-19 put pay to that.
Nyika joined us on The Boxing Files podcast to talk through his career to date and his future prospects, which certainly are exciting.
