Ni Vanuatu boxers Roy Ser and Wasing Warawara are set to arrive in the country next Wednesday.
South Pacific Boxing Promotions promoter Fred Chand announced that the boxers will catch a connecting flight to Labasa for the promotion scheduled next Saturday, August 10.
“The boxers wanted to get to Labasa quickly to acclimatize to the weather conditions,” Chand explained.
In the main event, Ser will face Fiji’s super welterweight and IBO Asia Pacific titleholder Winston Hill. This 10-round fight is highly anticipated, as both boxers have extensive amateur boxing experience before turning professional.
Hill secured a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, while Ser won a gold medal at the 2017 Pacific Mini Games in Port Vila, and also trained in China. Ser has previously knocked out Rakuro Dauvavana in the second round and Saimoni Ratu.
Warawara will compete in the supporting bout against up-and-comer Frederick Chand of Nadi’s Seaside Boxing Club. The official weigh-in for the promotion is set for next Friday in Labasa.
