Jonathan Hill is hopeful in extending his winning streak as he prepares for his second professional bout against Labasa’s Rupeni Rokoratu in the South Pacific boxing promotion next month.
“Preparation has been good and we’re always prepped, Winston (his younger brother) and I,” Hill shared.
“My approach in this fight is to knock out Rokoratu to boost my ranking.”
Hill is eyeing a title fight, contingent on his victory over Rokoratu.
“This will be my first time fighting Rokoratu, and it feels almost like amateur boxing—we just get in the ring and handle it,” he said.
“My son is my motivation to win this fight.”
Hill mentioned he hasn’t studied his opponent much, concentrating instead on refining his own abilities and strength.
“It’s great to have my younger brother Winston involved in my preparation, and it likely makes my opponent wary of me,” he added.
“It will also be my first time fighting in Labasa.”
Hill secured his first professional win in the super middleweight division against Donasio Macedru during the Lewis Hill boxing promotions at Vodafone Arena, Suva, last year.
“I’m working on improving my fitness for this fight, aiming for victory,” he said.
“I was unfit in my last fight, but I got the job done.”
Hill noted that he has gained valuable experience from his previous professional bout.
“After this fight, I will be gunning for the super middleweight title of Fiji and possibly the light heavyweight title as well,” he declared.
“Whoever holds the title, I’ll be coming after them.”
