    Duco Events promoter David Higgins admits it's been difficult finding a maiden professional opponent for two-time Commonwealth Games boxing champion David Nyika


    He'll debut on the undercard of the Joseph Parker-Junior Fa bout.

    About a dozen potential opponents are being discussed, but most have turned down the offer.

    Higgins says Nyika's amateur record's intimidating.



    A leading candidate's Australian Ben Kelleher, with a 13 and two record.
