Security to be beefed up for Huni fight after drive-by shooting | phillutton78
Boxing promoter Dean Lonergan says he will ask Queensland police to increase their presence at his impending Brisbane fight night, with Australian heavyweight champion Justis Huni set to step into the ring less than a week after his home was sprayed with bullets.
Huni is due to fight Joe Goodall at Nissan Arena on Wednesday and the fight will go ahead as planned. But Lonergan said he would try to ensure there was extra security on hand given the alarming events of the past few days. “It was a stupid thing for anyone to do, I don’t know what they were trying to say. I have a million questions. It was beyond stupid, I’m sure the police will be handling it.”Former heavyweight champion Lucas Browne said on Thursday he had been threatened by motorcycle gangs and other factions around the sport,. Lonergan said it was impossible to insulate his fighter from all the unsavoury elements that may come with the sport.
