Hill labels Lachlan O’Shea as 'The Boogeyman'

Defending Asia Pacific IBO champion and Fiji’s boxing sensation Winston Hill has labelled his opponent and Australian fighter Lachlan O’Shea as the Boogeyman who is coming to knock him out.

While speaking during the South Pacific Boxing Promotion press conference today, Hill says every fight that he prepares for, he feels like his opponent is the most dangerous boxer that he will ever fight.

He says he looks at his upcoming fight against O’Shea as one of those bad dreams that he can't run away from and can't fight back.

When asked by fijivillage News what his strategy is heading into this fight, Hill says he will be targeting O'Shea’s heavy scar tissue on his right eye.

He says as much as they want each other to step out of the ring safe and healthy, it won’t change his strategy by targeting the lead.

Hill says for this fight he is looking forward to a full 10-round boxing show.
