Fighter Matchups & Styles

  • Teremoana Teremoana (“Teremoana Junior”): 28 years old, 6′ 6″ (198 cm), ~78″ reach, orthodox. Brisbane, Australia-based (born Campbelltown, NSW; Samoan heritage). Devastating knockout artist—100% KO rate across all 9 pro wins, most inside the first three rounds. Massive size, heavy hands, improving patience, and explosive power. Home-away-from-home crowd support on U.S. soil but still a showcase for the rising Australian heavyweight.
  • Curtis “The Hurt” Harper: 37 years old, 6′ 2″ (188 cm), 78½″ reach, orthodox. Jacksonville, Florida native and veteran journeyman. Power puncher (13 KOs) with durability and experience against world-level heavyweights, but 12 losses (including several stoppages). Aggressive pressure style; known for occasional viral moments (2018 Ajagba walkout) but now relies on veteran savvy and one-punch threat.

Tale of the Tape edge: Teremoana in size, youth, power, and undefeated momentum. Harper in pro rounds fought (129 vs. 11) and big-name résumé experience.

Recent Form

Teremoana (all wins—reverse chronological):

  • Dec 2025 – W KO1 German Garcia Montes (first-round destruction on Gold Coast undercard).
  • Jun 2025 – W (stoppage) Aleem Whitfield.
  • Mar 2025 – W (stoppage) James Singh.
  • Jan 2025 – W (stoppage) Osasu Otobo.
  • Dec 2024 – W (stoppage, multiple knockdowns) Volodymyr Katsuk.

Teremoana has stopped every opponent in 11 total rounds fought—pure finishing machine.

Harper (last 6–7):

  • Feb 28, 2026 – L vs. Roney Hines (15-0-1 prospect; recent loss shows vulnerability).
  • May 2025 – W vs. Dell Long (regional-level).
  • Dec 2024 – W TKO2 Francois Russell.
  • Sep 2024 – W vs. Antwaun Tubbs.
  • Aug 2024 – W vs. Deon Ronny Hale.
  • May 2024 – W (DQ) vs. Kaleb Slaughter.
  • Dec 2023 – L vs. Richard Torrez Jr. (high-level stoppage loss).

Harper is active but has lost to rising prospects and elites; he’s 4-2 in his last six but the recent loss to Hines raises ring-rust and age concerns.

Fight History Context

Teremoana is a blue-chip Matchroom prospect with zero pro miles on the clock and a perfect KO streak. Harper has shared the ring with household names (Richard Torrez Jr., Zhilei Zhang, Bakhodir Jalolov, Cris Arreola, Guido Vianello) and pushed some tough—yet he’s been stopped or outclassed against elite power. This is a classic “prospect showcase vs. durable veteran” test: Harper’s experience could make it competitive early, but Teremoana’s size and finishing rate make it a massive step-up for the Aussie.
