Australia's world heavyweight champion prospect Alex Leapai has the power, but teenage prodigy Satali Tevi-Fuimaono will rely on a superior technique in his quest for Olympic Games gold.

The 16-year-old is aiming for back-to-back world titles when he contests the 75 kilogram division in the under-19 ranks at the World Youth Boxing Championships in Bulgaria from April 10-25.
Tevi-Fuimaono's ultimate goal is to become the first Australian to win a gold medal in boxing in the Olympic Games.
After that, all roads lead to the lucrative professional ranks, where Leapai is on the path to make history of his own.
Leapai will have a seven-figure pay day when he challenges world champion Wladimir Klitschko in Germany on April 26.
The Rocky-like rise of the battler from Logan hasn't been lost on Tevi-Fuimaono, who was training at the AIS in Canberra on Monday.
"The inspiration is massive,'' Tevi-Fuimaono said. "Being half Samoan and watching a fellow Samoan going out there and doing his thing is something great.
"It really lifts you up and makes you think you can take on the world.
"I think we have a chance. Australia has turned the tide before, just look at Danny Green and Roy Jones. We've done the impossible and that's what we're here for, to do the impossible.''
Tevi-Fuimaono, from the Central Coast, is the under-17 world champion. He is a two-time national title holder and took up the sport after starting out in rugby league.
"Being in an individual sport, people just think it's you by yourself in a dark room doing dark things, but you've got the whole team behind you and you're taking on the world together,'' he said.
"Short term, I'm hoping to try and get this gold and bring it back, but long term I hope to be the first Australian to win a gold at the Olympics.
"It's hard to keep your head out of the clouds, but it all comes down to family members and friends and teammates.''
Leapai's trademark punch is the ''Samoan Bowler'', a looping overhand right developed from a dodgy bowling technique that has delivered him 24 knockouts.
Tevi-Fuimaono, meanwhile, relies more on speed and accuracy.
"I can't really claim that one, I'm more of a technical fighter and like to fight long range,'' he said. "Being a short fighter, it's something unexpected for someone of my size and stature.''
Tevi-Fuimaono is part of an 11-strong Australian team going to Bulgaria.
