Three days are left until an exciting evening of boxing unfolds at the Vodafone Arena in Suva, hosted by Blue Water Boxing Promotion. The event features three title fights, including a highly anticipated main event where Mohammed Ali faces Mikaele Ravalaca for the Lightweight title at 61 kilograms.
Promoter Samir Khan has reported strong ticket sales, reflecting a growing enthusiasm for boxing in Fiji. Fans are encouraged to secure their spots, as tickets are selling quickly, with many phone calls from eager supporters of the sport. “Since only days left the tickets are really going very fast receiving lots of calls from boxing fans,” Khan noted.
In addition to the main event, the fight card includes a Cruiserweight title matchup between Paulo Ratumaikoro and Aliveriti Kauyaca, both undefeated in Fiji, as well as Joseph Kwadjo going up against Robin Hazelman in another Cruiserweight contest. The event will also feature Semi Dauloloma competing against Jonasa Kavika for the Heavyweight Leweni Waqa Title.
Khan highlighted the significance of this event in not just providing thrilling competition but also boosting the local boxing culture in Fiji. The commitment to safety remains paramount, with weigh-ins scheduled before the fight and medical checks already conducted to ensure the well-being of all athletes. “The lineup for the event is impressive, with key matchups like Mika Ravalaca Junior vs Mohammed Ali catching the eye of many,” he added.
Moreover, Ravalaca has expressed his determination to showcase his skills and aims for a knockout victory. “If he wobbles in the first round, I’ll tell him, wait it’s too early, not now,” Ravalaca playfully affirmed, indicating his readiness for the challenge ahead.
The anticipation builds not only for the bouts themselves but also for the future potential it ignites within the Fijian boxing scene. Fans will have the opportunity to witness the emergence of new talent as well as established fighters, and the fight can be watched live globally via pay-per-view.
As this significant event approaches, it promises to provide an electrifying atmosphere filled with fierce competition and local pride. The thriving boxing scene in Fiji stands to gain further momentum from this promotion, enhancing community engagement and supporting the athletes of tomorrow.
