An already stacked boxing card has added even more firepower, with Australian boxing legends Lucas Browne, and Jason and Andrew Moloney added to the fight's undercard.
Announced Thursday, current WBA Oceania title holder Browne will look to build on his current momentum as he takes on New Zealand heavyweight Junior Fa. A former WBA heavyweight champion, Browne will take on Fa for the IBF International heavyweight title.
Browne is coming off of a dominant win over Faiga Opelu in December, while Fa is looking to rebound after a tough loss against Joseph Parker.

According to Browne, he sees Fa as a hurdle that needs to be overcome in pursuit of his aspirations to claim another world title.
“I would love nothing more than to fight for another world title and Junior Fa is standing in my way,” Browne said.
“If I can put him away early, that will send a message to the boxing world that I am far from finished. He has only lost once in his career, to Joseph Parker.
“I plan to hand him his second defeat.”
Also featuring on the bumper card will be Australian brothers Jason and Andrew Moloney, taking on Aston Palict and Alexander Espinoza, respectively.
Jason - who is ranked in the top three by WBC and WBO - is looking to claim the vacant WBO International bantamweight title, and while he respects the ability of his opponent is confident he will take home the glory.
“I am grateful to Top Rank and Lou DiBella for the opportunity to be part of the biggest event in Australian boxing history,” said Moloney.
“It is a dream come true.
“I’m expecting a tough fight against a former world title challenger in Aston Palicte, as he has shown that he can perform at the top level.
“I will be coming with everything I have to deliver the impressive performance of my career. Get ready for Mayhem!”
Moloney is riding a two-fight winning streak, having taken down Francisco Pedroza Portillo and Joshua Greer Jr, but Aston Palcit will be a tough contest for the 31-year-old.
These fights will take place as part of a star-studded 15-fight undercard, which will also include appearances from heavyweights Hemi Ahio and Joe Jones, and a host of junior middleweight fighters including Amari Jones and Ankush Hooda, Terry Nickolas and Lachlan Higgins, Isaias Sette and Luke Gersbeck, and Hussein Fayad and Pom Thanawut Phetkum.
Rounding out the undercard is a five-round junior bantamweight fight between Taylah Robertson and Sarah Higginson.
