Australian heavyweight boxing star Justis Huni<\/a> has been caught up in a war between rival promotions after his successful comeback last weekend.<\/p>\n

Huni \ufeffreturned after a 10-month absence, defeating Frazer Clarke via majority decision on the undercard of Tyson Fury<\/a>'s win over Arslanbek Makhmudov.<\/p>\n

It marked the Aussie's first bout since his world title \ufeffloss to Fabio Wardley<\/a> last June.<\/p>\n

While the 27-year-old was back to his best inside the ring, \ufeffthings outside of it are messy.<\/p>\n

According to veteran boxing journalist Dan Rafael, Matchroom Boxing – led by Eddie Hearn – sent a legal letter to Goldstar Promotions and Tasman Fighters claiming Huni was still under an exclusive contract with them.<\/p>\n

The letter claimed Huni was still in the midst of a six-fight deal and competing on the Netflix card was "tortious interference" and were never informed of the Clarke bout.<\/p>\n

"Matchroom said it tried to work things out and sent a draft amendment in recent days saying it would allow the fight under certain conditions but has not heard back from the other promoters," Rafael said via X.<\/p>\n

Spencer Brown from Goldstar responded to the letter and hoped it would be resolved, labelling it as "very silly and "very petty" when speaking to Rafael.<\/p>\n

At this stage, there is no indication the issue has been resolved.<\/p>\n
