Hill aims for a celebration in two parts, as his brother Jonathan Hill is also scheduled to fight Siliveni Nawai for the Fiji super middleweight title on the undercard. Hill expressed confidence, stating, “We are ready to dominate our fights as we have been spending a long time together training in camp.” He added, “I’m looking forward to fight night. It is a big card, big fights with lots of big titles on the line.”
The event promises excitement with the presence of ring announcers and Sonny Bill Williams, making Prince Charles Park a vibrant venue. “Team Hill is here, and it is different as I’m fighting alongside my brother who is gunning for a national title,” he remarked.
In another bout, Sebastian ‘The Sniper’ Singh is optimistic about claiming the IBO Asia Pacific cruiserweight title from Australia’s ‘King’ Tonga Tongotongo. Singh, who also holds the World Boxing Foundation Asia Pacific cruiserweight title, weighed in at 89.75 kilograms, while Tongotongo’s weight was recorded at 87.55 kilograms.
“I’m excited for the hard work we have put in with my opponent,” said Singh from Suva. He noted that both fighters are in excellent health and full of adrenaline, stating, “I just want to get the job done.” While he refrained from making specific predictions, Singh left the door open, indicating that “whatever happens, happens.”
In another matchup, Fiji super middleweight champion Siliveni Nawai weighed in at 75.5 kilograms, while Jonathan Hill came in at 74.8 kilograms. Nawai, who is known as “Hands of Stone,” stated, “I have prepped for this fight and I’ll await what Hill has in store for me.”
