The South Pacific Boxing Promotions will be transporting the boxing ring to Labasa for the August 10 event at Subrail Park.
This was confirmed by promoter Fred Chand, who stated that preparations are progressing well for the event.
“There is no ring in Labasa, and this is the first program there after nine years,” said Chand.
“We are 99 percent on track with the program. The Vanuatu boxers are arriving next Wednesday and will catch their connecting flight to Labasa.”
The main event features Fiji super welterweight and IBO Asia Pacific champion Winston Hill facing Roy ‘Tsunami’ Ser from Port Vila, Vanuatu.
Ser, who trained in China, won the gold medal for Vanuatu at the Pacific Mini Games and has a knockout victory over top Fiji welterweight contender Rakuro Dauvavana.
Former Fiji middleweight champion Nat Ledua mentioned in a previous interview that people in Vanua Levu are excited to see Hill in action.
Another highlight is the Fiji lightweight title fight between stylish Ubayd Haider (formerly Nathan Singh) and hard-hitting Saimoni Ratu from Naitasiri. Haider, also the national super featherweight champion, has recorded two wins in Australia.
“Tickets will go on sale next week,” stated Chand, as they finalize remaining details.
