Todd expressed his astonishment at the number of bouts, highlighting the rising popularity of boxing in Fiji and the importance of capitalizing on the opportunities it brings. “The 50 fights are just amazing; it shows how the growth of boxing is here in Fiji. We just need to reach out and grab it,” Todd stated.
