Whangaparaoa boxer Nik Charalampous will have to wait for his shot at the cruiserweight NZ title, but he gets to compete instead for the North Island title next month, in an event to be held in Whangaparaoa.

Nik, 27, was to have competed for the national title last month (HM August 5). But promoter of that event, Craig Thomson, says Covid delivered the ultimate punch.

That fight has been replaced with a North Island Cruiserweight title fight to be held in Whangaparaoa on October 10, at Sportscave.

In this event, Nik will fight Dhcamad Armstrong of Kaikohe with the winner moving on to a NZ title fight.
