JUSTIS HUNI was praised for his incredible reaction in his dressing room just moments after being knocked out by Fabio Wardley.

The Aussie took the bout on just five weeks notice after controversial American Jarrell Miller pulled out injured.

And Huni was on the way to well and truly ruining Wardley’s Ipswich homecoming after racking up a lead ten rounds into the bout.

But just as all hope looked to be lost for the hometown hero – Wardley produced a Hail Mary right hand to turn the fight on its head.

Huni was gracious in defeat – as revealed by amazing backstage footage captured by Matchroom Boxing.

Hugging a family member, the beaten heavyweight said: “S*** happens, you know. I will come back, just bounce back.

“We just keep our head up and bounce back. It is what it is. Head up team, head up! We bounce back, it’s boxing.”

Fans hailed humble Huni in the comments as one said: “Class act this chap very respectful throughout.”

Another added: “Gained a lot of supporters – not just by the way be boxed, but also the way he conducted himself afterward. Big respect.”

A third said: “Lovely guy, he’ll be back.”

Huni, 26, was ahead on all the scorecards having thrown and landed more shots throughout.

But the punch that mattered the most was the massive right hand from Wardley, 30, that closed the show in dramatic fashion.

The former recruitment consultant-turned-white collar boxer remained unbeaten and won himself the WBA interim title.

Wardley said: “I don’t profess to be any kind of Usyk or Justis Huni – someone with all the skills.

“But one thing I do know is how to win fights, dig deep, find a bit of heart, bite down on the gumshield, find a way to win.

“That’s one thing I had to do tonight. I should have performed better in some of the rounds.

“It’s not always the way it goes. Sometimes you just need to find a different way to win. So look, we pulled something out of the bag.”
