The upcoming South Pacific Boxing Promotion event will be one of the biggest and history-making events in the Pacific region as there will be 3 international title fights in one night.

Promoter Freddy Chand says this has never happened in any countries like Australia, NZ and other Pacific countries before.

Chand says this event is an expensive exercise but they are grateful to those who are working hard behind the scenes to make this a possibility and they look to keep moving up from here.

The event will have former multi-sport sensation Sonny Bill Williams, who has represented NZ in rugby union, rugby league and boxing, as the chief guest.

The main title bout will see Fiji’s Winston Hill taking on Lachlan O’Shea from Australia for the IBO Asia Pacific Super Welterweight title.

Fiji’s Sebastian Singh will take on King Tonga Tongotongo from Tonga for the IBO Asia Pacific Cruiserweight title, while Ubayd Haider will fight China’s Runqi Zhou for the IBO Asia Pacific Featherweight title.

There will also be another international fight in the event that will see Jese Ravudi taking on Vanuatu’s Roy Ser.

Meanwhile, Siliveni Nawai and Jonathan Pedro Hill will fight for the Fijian Super Middleweight title.

In other fights on the night, Jnr Abhay Chand will take on Vitori Cabalevu in a 6x3 contest while in the 4x3 contest, Apisai Naciqa will fight Marika Kavika, Manoa Tuiyaro will take on Ezra Volavola, Amit Kumar will fight Mikaele Marisi and Amo Wati will fight Maureen Neumia in the only 4x2 female bout.

The South Pacific Boxing Promotion will be held on the 26th of this month at King Charles Park, Nadi.
