    Kiwi boxer Alrie Meleisea will have a second chance at winning a world title


    The New Zealand Samoan will fight for the WBA light heavyweight title against Che Kenneally in Queensland on July 25.

    Meleisea lost to compatriot Lani Daniels in an IBF world heavyweight title fight in May 2023, and hasn't fought since.
