The PNGABU was hoping to use the tournament as good preparation for PNGs boxers and the roster of Australian fighters featured a lot of quality. The night opened with three bouts featuring local fighters. The most anticipated fight of the night was between Jessie Travers and Henry Umings in the 56kg.
