New Boxing champ crowned

Petero Qica is now the new Heavyweight champion of Fiji after he defeated Mosese Kavika in the Wild West Boxing promotion last night at Prince Charles Park in Nadi.

In other results Abay Chand who replaced Joy Ali against Joe Naleca was declared winner in the eighth round.

Joy Ali pulled out due to medical reasons.

Ali's younger brother Junior Farzan Ali was on his toes and knocked Parmod Pillay in the second round for the Junior Welterweight title.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Boxing Commission will decide later whether any disciplinary action will be taken against Joy Ali for pulling out at the eleventh hour.
