When Kiwi boxer David Nyika found out his fiancée Lexy Thornberry had been diagnosed with head and neck cancer, it felt like he’d been hit harder than even Jai Opetaia managed in their January world title fight that left him unconscious on the canvas.
But, like that day on the Gold Coast, when he suffered a fourth-round knockout at the hands of the best cruiserweight on the planet in a fight he took at just three weeks’ notice, the 30-year-old Kiwi has picked himself up, dusted himself off and got on with life.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
