Media Release: Dominic Vea faces new opponent for Commonwealth boxing title

Dominic ‘The Dominator’ Vea (12-2,10KO) now faces New Zealand’s Oscar Siale (12-4,4KO) for the vacant Commonwealth cruiserweight title after WBO African champion Mohammed Azzaoui withdrew on short notice.

“It’s a bit disappointing that Azzaoui pulled out,” says Vea. “However Siale is an experienced southpaw with plenty of rounds under his belt. My management have done a great job over the past year dealing with potential opponents and the Commonwealth Boxing Council to secure this title fight. I’m just glad I’m finally getting in the ring on Thursday - it has been a while coming.”

Penrith Panthers Rugby League Club will host the Commonwealth Cruiserweight title fight and undercard on Thursday 1 July.

Dominic played junior Rugby League with Penrith and Vea will be linking to the Penrith Panthers through a promotional sparring session with Panthers star fullback Lachlan Coote at midday on Wednesday 30 June.
